Mahadev konar commented on MAPREDUCE-3121:
------------------------------------------

@Eli,
  The patch attached allows the NM to tolerate disk failures as the TT did in 
MR-2413. The current MR code (both in 0.23 and 0.20.205) does not distinguish 
why a task failed, could be a disk failure on a node or IO error. So the client 
will see it as a failure. We could later sometime do optimizations to be smart 
about disk failures (saying a task failure on a node with disk failure doesnt 
count against max num failures) but I think it might have diminishing returns 
in production environments. Want to open a jira to track it?

> This is akin to MAPREDUCE-2413 but for YARN's NodeManager. We want to 
> minimize the impact of transient/permanent disk failures on containers. With 
> larger number of disks per node, the ability to continue to run containers on 
> other disks is crucial.
