eric baldeschwieler commented on HADOOP-153:
--------------------------------------------
I'm nervous about adding extra NN operations per task. That is going to make
scaling to large clusters more expensive. I'd really like to find another
solution if possible. We just took out a bunch of NN work per task due to
performance problems! (task promotion stuff)

> Key: HADOOP-153
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-153
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: mapred
> Affects Versions: 0.2.0
> Reporter: Doug Cutting
> Assignee: Sharad Agarwal
> Attachments: 153_1.patch, 153_2.patch, skipRecords_wip1.patch

> MapReduce should skip records that throw exceptions.
> If the exception is thrown under RecordReader.next() then RecordReader
> implementations should automatically skip to the start of a subsequent record.
> Exceptions in map and reduce implementations can simply be logged, unless
> they happen under RecordWriter.write(). Cancelling partial output could be
> hard. So such output errors will still result in task failure.
> This behaviour should be optional, but enabled by default. A count of errors
> per task and job should be maintained and displayed in the web ui. Perhaps
> if some percentage of records (>50%?) result in exceptions then the task
> should fail. This would stop jobs early that are misconfigured or have buggy
> code.
> Thoughts?
