Task Killed but no errors

2012-02-27 Thread Mohit Anchlia
I submitted a map reduce job that had 9 tasks killed out of 139. But I
don't see any errors in the admin page. The entire job however has
SUCCEDED. How can I track down the reason?

Also, how do I determine if this is something to worry about?

Hi,

You should go to the data nodes and check /logs/userlogs/ directories 
there.


Though I am not either very clear about this case:  If you are working 
on the administrated cluster and you don't have access to the data 
nodes, how to check the error logs.  For me I have to ask administrator 
forward me the error log sometimes.  The logs in jobtracker and namenode 
are very limited.  And the datanode info in admin web page is blocked 
because of security reasons? I didn't follow up the new releases about 
this issue.  Maybe in 1.0.x they have improved methods about this?
