In the JobTracker website, when I click on a JobId, there is a listing of completed maps and killed maps. When I click on the number under the column completed or killed, there is a table with columns as mentioned below.
Task, Complete, Status, Start Time, Finish Time, Errors Status column is blank for Failed jobs, while for completed jobs it lists the actual inputfile/block on which this map was executed. This is the exact information that I'm looking for in case of a failed job. Our jobs run on numerous files, and sometimes some input files are corrupt. So if a failed map task can also show me what was the input file it was working on, I can quickly remove that corrupt input file and rerun the job. Please let me know if this information can be obtained in any other way. Thanks & Regards Sandhya
