The reducer keeps reporting the map attempt > as bad, and if the map attempt ends up being re-launched too many times > before the reducer decides maybe it is the real problem the job can fail. > In that scenario it would be better to re-launch the reduce attempt and > hopefully it will run on another node that has sufficient space to complete > the shuffle. Reporting the map attempt is bad and relaunching the map task > doesn't change the fact that the reducer can't hold the output. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
