             Summary: Recovery should restore task state from job history info 
directly
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-5079
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5079
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: mr-am
    Affects Versions: 0.23.7
            Reporter: Jason Lowe
            Assignee: Jason Lowe


We've encountered a lot of hanging issues during MR-AM recovery because the 
state machines don't always end up in the same states after recovery.  This is 
especially true when speculative execution is enabled.  It should be 
straightforward to restore task and task attempt states directly from the 
TaskInfo and TaskAttemptInfo records in the job history file to avoid relying 
on the task state machines ending up in the proper states with the proper 
number of attempts.

This should be a more robust solution that would also give us the option of 
recovering start time and log locations for tasks that were in-progress when 
the AM crashed.
