dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-4305: ------------------------------------------ I vote for Option 1. If a TaskTracker is found faulty, shut it down. This is similar to the behaviour of a Datanode. If an admin restarts a task-tarcker, then it should probably join the cluster as a "healthy" task tracker. > repeatedly blacklisted tasktrackers should get declared dead > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4305 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4305 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Christian Kunz > Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Fix For: 0.20.0 > > > When running a batch of jobs it often happens that the same tasktrackers are > blacklisted again and again. This can slow job execution considerably, in > particular, when tasks fail because of timeout. > It would make sense to no longer assign any tasks to such tasktrackers and to > declare them dead. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
