Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-1351: --------------------------------------- It is unfortunate that we cannot agree with Arun on this issue, so i wonder what do the other developers think. > Perhaps we should give folks the option of either killing or failing tasks? another configuration option? Hell no! .smile. > Want to kill a particular task or attempt > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1351 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1351 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.15.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Attachments: killTask_v1.0.1.patch, killTask_v1.2.patch, > killTask_v1.3.patch, killTask_v1.4.patch > > > It would be convenient to be able to kill a particular task or attempt from > the command line. It would look like: > bin/hadoop job -kill-task tip_0001_m_000000 > bin/hadoop job -kill-attempt task_0001_m_000000_0 > This would allow the user to tell the system to stop a particular task or > attempt without having to restart a task tracker. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
