Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2141:
---------------------------------------
Ok, after talking to Koji, it looks like part of the problem was that the jobs
were streaming and thus didn't time out after 10 minutes. I therefore filed
HADOOP-2211 that proposes changing the default timeout for streaming to 1 hour
instead of infinite.

> Project: Hadoop

> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Koji Noguchi

> Fix For: 0.16.0

>
> We had one job with speculative execution hang.
> 4 reduce tasks were stuck with 95% completion because of a bad disk.
> Devaraj pointed out
> bq . One of the conditions that must be met for launching a speculative
> instance of a task is that it must be at least 20% behind the average
> progress, and this is not true here.
> It would be nice if speculative execution also starts up when tasks stop
> making progress.
> Devaraj suggested
> bq. Maybe, we should introduce a condition for average completion time for
> tasks in the speculative execution check.
