After the > jobtracker restarted, some tasktrackers were sent a reinit action. After > this, some new tasks of the random writer were scheduled to be run on the > same task trackers. These failed in the job localization while creating the > work directory. However, the next attempts of the same job ran successfully > and the job succeeded. This happened in about 1% of the total number of tasks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
