I have a large job operating on over 2 TB of data, with about 50000 input splits. For some reason (as yet unknown), tasks started failing on two of the machines (which got blacklisted). 13 mappers failed in total. Of those 13, 8 of the tasks were able to execute on another machine without any issues. 5 of the tasks *did not* get re-executed on another machine, and their status is marked as "FAILED_UNCLEAN". Anyone have any idea what's going on? Why isn't Hadoop running these tasks on other machines?

Has the job failed/killed or Succeded when you see this situation ? Once the job completes, the unclean attempts will not get scheduled. If not, are there other jobs of higher priority running at the same time preventing the cleanups to be launched?
What version of Hadoop are you using? latest trunk?
