Siddharth Seth commented on TEZ-3161: ------------------------------------- [~oae] - I noticed you watching the jira. Is this something you intend to use ?, and if so, could you please provide some context around scenarios in which it will be used. > Allow task to report different kinds of errors - fatal / kill > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TEZ-3161 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-3161 > Project: Apache Tez > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Siddharth Seth > Assignee: Siddharth Seth > Attachments: TEZ-3161.1.txt, TEZ-3161.2.txt, TEZ-3161.3.txt, > TEZ-3161.4.txt, TEZ-3161.5.txt, TEZ-3161.6.txt > > > In some cases, task failures will be the same across all attempts - e.g. > exceeding memory utilization on an operation. In this case, there's no point > in running another attempt of the same task. > There's other cases where a task may want to mark itself as KILLED - i.e. a > temporary error. An example of this is pipelined shuffle. > Tez should allow both operations. > cc [~vikram.dixit], [~rajesh.balamohan] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
