Scott Chen commented on MAPREDUCE-1608:
---------------------------------------
We can make this feature configurable.
For example, we put
{code}
"mapreduce.cluster.speculation.controlable"
{code}
in MRConfig.java to allow the administrator to turn on/off this feature.
What do you think?
> Allow users to do speculative execution of a task manually
> ----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MAPREDUCE-1608
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1608
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Scott Chen
> Assignee: Scott Chen
>
> Speculative execution improves the latency of the job. Sometimes the job has
> few very slow reducers. Spending a little more resource on speculative tasks
> can improve the latency a lot. It will be nice that the users can manually
> select one task and force the speculative execution on that task just like we
> can manually kill/fail task.
> The proposal is add link says "speculate" in taskdetails.jsp page where we do
> "kill/fail".
> Thoughts?
