Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-1857:
---------------------------------------
Another reasonable place to put the output of the script would be to put them
in the diagnostic message for the Task, but that would involve more complex
changes to the framework.
> Ability to run a script when a task fails to capture stack traces

> This basically is for providing a better user interface for debugging failed
> jobs. Today we see stack traces for failed tasks on the job ui if the job
> happened to be a Java MR job. For non-Java jobs like Streaming, Pipes, the
> diagnostic info on the job UI is not helpful enough to debug what might have
> gone wrong. They are usually framework traces and not app traces.
> We want to be able to provide a facility, via user-provided scripts, for doing
> post-processing on task logs, input, output, etc. There should be some default
> scripts like running core dumps under gdb for locating illegal instructions,
> the last few lines from stderr, etc. These outputs could be sent to the
> tasktracker and in turn to the jobtracker which would then display it on the
> job UI on demand.
