Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-4261:
------------------------------------
+1, looks fine to me from the recovery point of view. One general comment
- Can we have a enum in {{JobHistory}} (say {{TaskType}}) and pass {{TaskType}}
as a parameter instead of {{isCleanup}}, {{isSetup}} etc. Can you check if its
possible? The reason is in future we can simply grow the enum and make
appropriate calls.
> Jobs failing in the init stage will never cleanup

> Pre HADOOP-3150, if the job fails in the init stage, {{job.kill()}} was
> called. This used to make sure that the job was cleaned up w.r.t
> - staus set to KILLED/FAILED
> - job files from the system dir are deleted
> - closing of job history files
> - making jobtracker aware of this through {{jobTracker.finalizeJob()}}
> - cleaning up the data structures via {{JobInProgress.garbageCollect()}}
> Now if the job fails in the init stage, {{job.fail()}} is called which doesnt
> do the cleanup. HADOOP-3150 introduces cleanup tasks which are launched once
> the job completes i.e killed/failed/succeeded. Jobtracker will never
> consider this job for scheduling as the job will be in the {{PREP}} state
> forever.
