Maps which ran on trackers declared 'lost' are being marked as FAILED rather than KILLED ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1944 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1944 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.15.0 Reporter: Arun C Murthy Assignee: Arun C Murthy Priority: Blocker Fix For: 0.15.0 There seems to be a bug in {{TaskInProgress.taskKilled}} which checks if that taskid was in {{tasksToKill}}, if not, it just marks the taskid as FAILED. This is wrong since tasks can also be KILLED due to *lost task-trackers* and hence won't be found in {{tasksToKill}}. This clearly leads to a wrongly penalizing user-jobs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
