                 Key: HADOOP-5609
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5609
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.18.3
            Reporter: Qi Liu


When a job failed, in rare case, some reducer slots are not freed (continue to 
try collecting data even if the job is not running). These occupied reducer 
slots are not usable by following mapred jobs unless the task trackers are 
restarted.
These reducers continue to report the progress to job tracker, which results 
the following logs:
2009-03-31 23:59:59,992 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker: Serious 
problem.  While updating status, cannot find taskid
