In such > cases, the jobtracker depends on the jobhistory file for the next restart > count. If the new restart-count is not flushed to the file then there is a > fair chance that upon next restart, the jobtracker might schedule a new > attempt with an existing id. This can cause problems not only with the > side-effect files but also can cause the jobtracker to be in an inconsistent > state. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
