> Key: HADOOP-1877
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1877
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Priority: Minor
>
> If a job task fails due to no transient reasons (For example, configuration
> for the job is not correct) Hadoop will retry the failed tasks as many times
> as retries have been configured. And it will fail again and again.
> There should be an JobKillException -thrown by configure, map and reduce
> methods- that would make Hadoop not to retry the task and kill the job.
