Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-39: -------------------------------- Description: I propose having a job option that when a tip fails 4 times, stops trying to run that tip, but does not kill the job. (was: I had a map job with side effects that meant that any speculative tasks would fail. Currently, the job tracker kills the job when the speculative task fails 4 times. It would be better to stop scheduling speculative tasks for that fragment, but let the job continue as long as one of the the instances of that fragment continue to run.)
