Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-4209: --------------------------------------- I would propose that we should extend the jobid by HHMM, which will make all job ids where the JobTracker stays up more than a minute unique. I hope that is enough and that we don't really expect our JobTracker to only last 30 seconds and to launch jobs in that time. *grin* > The TaskAttemptID should not have the JobTracker start time > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4209 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > > The TaskAttemptID now includes the redundant copy of the JobTracker's start > time as milliseconds. We should instead change the JobID to have the longer > unique string. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
