Tsuyoshi Ozawa commented on MAPREDUCE-7148:
-------------------------------------------

[~tiana528], thanks you for suggesting the awesome feature. If I understand 
correctly, you suggest that deterministic failures, in this case DFS quota 
limitation, should not retry the task again and again. I think the feature 
itself is useful. 

At the patch-level design, hadoop-mapreduce-client-app should not depend on 
hadoop-hdfs directly. Is it possible to rewrite it with the exception at 
FileSystem-level API?

cc: [[email protected]] do you have any idea to handle this kind of quota 
error without breaking FileSystem abstraction? One possible solution is to 
handle and parse an error message via FileSystem-API's IOException provided 
from dfs' QuotaExceeded exception, but it must be dirty.

> We are running hive jobs with a DFS quota limitation per job(3TB). If a job 
> hits DFS quota limitation, the task that hit it will fail and there will be a 
> few task reties before the job actually fails. The retry is not very helpful 
> because the job will always fail anyway. In some worse cases, we have a job 
> which has a single reduce task writing more than 3TB to HDFS over 20 hours, 
> the reduce task exceeds the quota limitation and retries 4 times until the 
> job fails in the end thus consuming a lot of unnecessary resource. This 
> ticket aims at providing the feature to let a job fail fast when it writes 
> too much data to the DFS and exceeds the DFS quota limitation. The fast fail 
> feature is introduced in MAPREDUCE-7022 and MAPREDUCE-6489 .
