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 > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-343 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-343 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Amar Kamat > > 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} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
