Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-343:
--------------------------------------

I think its high time we should get this in. Too time consuming scanning 
jobtracker logs finding out why the job failed.

> Failed jobs should report the reason of failure on the web ui

> From user's perspective it is difficult to detect why the job failed . Users 
> might need to go through the jobtracker logs or task attempts list to see why 
> the job failed. It would be good to show the reason on the job web ui. 
> Something like
> {code}
> User: bob
> Job Name: example
> Job File: hdfs://location/job.xml
> Status: Failed
> Reason : Map/Reduce task # 47 failed x number of times.
> {code}
