Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-3462:
---------------------------------------
I'm sorry to be coming in so late on this one, but I think the fix for this is
much worse than the problem. We could easily end up with *stuck* jobs that
never finish and never fail. That is much worse than having jobs fail. I think
we need to find another way to address the observed problem, such as keeping
black lists between jobs. I'm just worried that any implementation of this
request will make the system less stable and that isn't ok.
