The proposal on http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3386 takes
care of this.
Thanks

And your observation is correct that some task trackers didn't receive
KillJobAction for the job.
If a reduce task has finished before the job completion, the task will
be sent KillTaskAction.
Looks like there is a bug in sending KillJobAction to the task tracker.
Could you please file jira for this?
Thanks

The task subdirectories are being deleted, but the job directory and
its work subdirectory are not. This is causing a problem since disk
space is filling up over time, and restarting the cluster after a long
time is very slow as the tasktrackers clear out the jobcache
directories.
This doesn't happen for every task run by a tasktracker, but it is
happening to a significant number.
I think it has something to do with the KillJobAction not being called
because if I grep the log for lines from the relevant job containing
"Kill" I see this:

Notice that tracker_m0f0202 receives a KillTaskAction (which removes
the task working directory), but not a KillJobAction (which would
remove the job directory). All the other trackers received
KillJobAction. I'm not sure what's happening here to cause this.
This is on 0.16.4.
Anyone else seen this?
