ignoring map task failure

[parnab kumar]

Hi All,

       I am running a job where there are between 1300-1400 map tasks. Some
map task fails due to some error. When 4 such maps fail the job naturally
gets killed.  How to  ignore the failed tasks and go around executing the
other map tasks. I am okay with loosing some data for the failed tasks.

Thanks,
Parnab
