Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-430:
--------------------------------------
Spoke to Devaraj about this offline. So child can ignore Errors and catch only
Exceptions and FSError. But ReduceTask and MapTask still catch Throwable and
eat it up. This can be serious and hence we need to take care of this. There
are multiple options
- dont catch Throwable only catch Exceptions
- catch Throwable and exit the jvm
- catch OOM and exit the jvm.
