We can have this Jira to address the base skipping functionality. I have 
created two dependent Jiras HADOOP-3828 and HADOOP-3829 which are the 
incremental features over this one.

> 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?
