                 Key: HADOOP-2327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2327
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/streaming
            Reporter: arkady borkovsky


Sometimes, a few map tasks fail and -reducer NONE.  
It should be possible to rerun the failed map tasks .
There are several failure modes:
   * a task is hanging, so the job is killed
   * from the infrastructure perspective, the task has completed successfully , 
but it failed to produces correct result
   * failed in the proper Hadoop sense
It is often too expensive to rerun the whole job.  And for larger jobs, chances 
are each run will have a few failed tasks.
