Hello,

One error I seem to be getting a lot is "Lost Task Tracker".  The two
reduce tasks that a particular machine is working on will fail with
this error, which then propagates back to all the map tasks that it
has completed, causing them to reexecute.  What exactly does this
message mean?  I would assume that it means contact with the task
tracker has been lost entirely, but the machine is still reported as
part of the cluster (although none of the reexecuted map tasks seem to
be assigned to it).

Thanks,
Albert
