Sharad Agarwal commented on MAPREDUCE-3473:
-------------------------------------------
note this is *task* failure NOT taskattempt failures. Task failure would mean
losing processing on corresponding inputsplit. Not all applications would be ok
with it.
Explicitly setting to non-zero value makes sense so losing data doesn't come as
surprise for applications.
> Task failures shouldn't result in Job failures

> Key: MAPREDUCE-3473
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3473
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tasktracker
> Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 0.23.0
> Reporter: Eli Collins
>
> Currently some task failures may result in job failures. Eg a local TT disk
> failure seen in TaskLauncher#run, TaskRunner#run, MapTask#run is visible to
> and can hang the JobClient, causing the job to fail. Job execution should
> always be able to survive a task failure if there are sufficient resources.
