Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-4191:
-------------------------------------------------

bq. (1) history file name and location are validated.
This has to done in two locations : mapred.job.hitsory.location and 
mapred.job.history.user.location

bq. (2) Each line's format is checked against a regex.
I guess this will be done by the parser itself. If anyline doesn't match 
recType {KEY =" VALUE "}* pattern, the parser will fail.

bq. (6) We maintain a Map<String, List<String>> of TaskIDs to TaskAttemptIDs 
and see if all the atemptIDs are finished before the TaskID finishes.
This will not be the case always. Incase of speculative tasks, TaskAttemptIDs 
will be killed after the TaskID finishes.



> Add a testcase for jobhistory

> Changes in job history might break the history parser which in turn might 
> break some features like jobtracker-recovery, history-viewer etc. There 
> should be a testcase that catches these incompatible changes early and 
> informs about the expected change.
