Enis Soztutar updated HADOOP-1351: ---------------------------------- Attachment: killTask_v1.9.patch After a discussion with Arun in #hadoop, we have decided the following - It may cause to log killing tasks preemptive, so we log a request to kill the task, than log the task as killed once TT reports so (two log entries per action). - changed {{JobSubmissionProtocol#killTask()}} to return {{boolean}} to indicate success. Of course since killing task is async, true may not mean the task is really killed if the cluster is in an unstable state. - adding user name to kill task log/diagnostic message. (not implemented, taking user name as a parameter in JobSubmissionProtocol did not seem good enough ). - passing the cause to kill the job to TT, in order to log it (not implemented since again, i am not fond of extending function signatures just to improve logging) - change {{JobSubmissionProtocol#killJob() to return boolean}} - Will open a new issue for this. > 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, killTask_v1.5.patch, > killTask_v1.6.patch, killTask_v1.7.patch, killTask_v1.8.patch, > killTask_v1.9.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.
