Arun C Murthy updated HADOOP-1050: ---------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-1050_20070419_2.patch Here is a reasonably well tested patch which helps to distinguish between *failed* tasks (i.e. bona-fide task 'error') and *killed* tasks (killed by the framework for no fault of their own e.g. lost task-trackers). With this in place it's then straight-forward to ensure that 'killed' tasks do not count against the job, thus not penalizing it. Other than that this patch contains some enchancements to jobdetails.jsp/jobfailures.jsp to show the same information on the web-ui... > Do not count lost tasktracker against the job > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1050 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1050 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assigned To: Arun C Murthy > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-1050_20070405_1.patch, > HADOOP-1050_20070419_2.patch > > > Equating a task failure to the one caused by a lost tasktracker is unfair on > the job; in extreme cases it leads to a job being killed since a TIP could > fail. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
