Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-343:
--------------------------------------

I have concerns about this patch. It might have unintended consequences. In 
particular, if a node is slow you'll drop what you know about that node and put 
more load on the job tracker. This patch is certainly addressing a real 
problem, though.

> In case of dead task tracker, the copy mapouts try copying all mapoutputs 
> from this tasktracker
