Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-182:
--------------------------------------

Note that marking completed reduces of running jobs as failed is _really_ bad 
because if the file already exists, I believe the tip will fail, thereby 
killing the job.

> lost task trackers should not update status of completed jobs

> When a Task Tracker is lost (by not sending a heartbeat for 10 minutes), the 
> JobTracker marks the tasks that were active on that node as failed. There are 
> two issues:
>    1. No task from a completed or failed job should be modified.
>    2. No reduces should be marked as failed, since their output is in dfs and 
> therefore not only on the dead node.
