Hi, I had a flaky machine the other day that was still accepting jobs and sending heartbeats, but caused all reduce task attempts to fail. This in turn caused the whole job to fail because the same reduce task was retried 3 times on that particular machine.
Perhaps I¹m confusing this with the block placement strategy in hdfs, but I always thought that the framework would retry jobs on a different machine if retries on the original machine keep failing. E.g. I would have expected to retry once or twice on the same machine, but then switch to a different one to minimize the likelihood of getting stuck on a bad machine. What is the expected behavior in 0.19.1 (which I¹m running) ? Any plans for improving on this in the future ? Thanks, Stefan
