Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-5330:
------------------------------------
Pre HADOOP-5247, it was assumed that all the trackers will atleast report once
before a job gets removed from the system. Unfortunately thats not true.
HADOOP-5247 solves this issue by broadcasting a job level cleanup upon job
completion. I think we need to port HADOOP-5247 to 0.19.
> Zombie tasks remain after jobs finish/fail/get killed

> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.19.1
> Reporter: Nathan Marz

> I'm seeing a lot of "task attempts" around our hadoop cluster for jobs that
> are no longer around. The attempts seem to be "hung", as they sit there
> forever. Additionally, they seem to take up map and reduce slots in the
> cluster unless MapReduce is restarted. This causes real jobs to be unable to
> utilize the whole cluster.
