Jason Lowe commented on MAPREDUCE-5304:
---------------------------------------
As someone who's on 0.23, I'll chime in to point out that the more we break the
path from 0.23 to 2.x, the longer it will take us to move to 2.x.
That being said, I don't believe this particular change will affect a lot of
our users. Pig, Oozie, and Hive are largely unaffected by this, and I don't
believe we have user code that is killing/failing tasks or getting task
completion events. Now if we were talking about changing the interfaces to
kill jobs or the counter interfaces, for example, then that would affect key
items further up the stack like Pig and a lot of our user code.
> mapreduce.Job killTask/failTask/getTaskCompletionEvents methods have
> incompatible signature changes

> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur

> Pointed out by [~zjshen] in MAPREDUCE-4942.
> In {{o.a.h.mapreduce.Job}} class, the following changed from Hadoop 1 to
> Hadoop 2.
> boolean failTask(TaskAttemptID): Change in return type from void to boolean.
> boolean killTask(TaskAttemptID): Change in return type from void to boolean.
> TaskCompletionEvent[] getTaskCompletionEvents(int): Change in return type
> from org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskCompletionEvent[] to
> org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.TaskCompletionEvent[].
> Using same rational as in other JIRAs, we should fix this to ensure Hadoop 1
> to Hadoop 2 source compatibility (taking 0.23.x releases as a casualty as
> there is not right way for everybody because we screwed up :( ). Flagging it
> as incompatible change because of 0.23.
