>                 Key: MAPREDUCE-6885
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6885
>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Jonathan Hung
>            Priority: Major
>
> If eventHandlingThread handles an event which causes it to throw an exception 
> (e.g. if it is unable to flush an event to HDFS), the thread dies. The events 
> are enqueued and eventually handled when JobHistoryEventHandler stops. If 
> handling these events also throws an exception, the remaining events are 
> lost. This can for example cause moving job history files to 
> mapreduce.jobhistory.done-dir to not occur.
> There should be some fail-proof logic here to prevent these events from being 
> lost. Should also be careful that the same exception is not thrown for each 
> event to prevent the logs from being cluttered with the same stacktrace. 
> Perhaps we can set a configurable number of failed handleEvent calls before 
> finally giving up a clean shutdown.
