Failed tasks should not be put at the end of the job tracker's queue --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-578 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-578 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Improvement Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.6.2 Reporter: Owen O'Malley This functionality was basically a workaround for other problems, which have been fixed. The impact of putting them at the end of the work queue is that if you have 100,000 maps, and the Mapper fails deterministically, you'll run 300,000+ attempts before your job is killed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
