Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-9046: ----------------------------------- I believe the root cause of this issue is that the task doesn't return failed status (code) properly. > Skip child tasks if parent task failed [Spark Branch] > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-9046 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9046 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Spark > Affects Versions: spark-branch > Reporter: Chao > > Currently, sometimes if a parent task failed, its child task(s) will continue > to execute, even the eventual result will be incorrect. This is demonstrated > in HIVE-8981. > It's a waste of time to continue in this case. We should detect such failures > and abandon the child tasks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
