Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-4305: ------------------------------------- Runping, yes, the TT can remember that. But the JT has the overall knowledge about the cluster (TTs and jobs) and is in a better position to decide whether to give a certain task to a TT or not, right ? > 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.
