> The BackupInfo class has a failedMsg field which is a string of unbounded 
> length. When a DistCp job fails then its failure message contains all of its 
> source paths, and its failure message gets propagated to this failedMsg field 
> on the given BackupInfo.
> If a DistCp job has enough source paths, then this will result in backup 
> status updates being rejected:
> {noformat}
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: KeyValue size too large

> Without the ability to update the backup's state, it will never be returned 
> as a failed backup by the client. This means that any mechanisms designed for 
> repairing or cleaning failed backups won't work properly.
> I think that a simple fix here would be fine: we should truncate the 
> failedMsg field to a reasonable maximum size.
