A single TT disk failure can cause the job to fail --------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2960 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2960 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Sub-task Components: tasktracker Affects Versions: 0.20.204.0 Reporter: Eli Collins Fix For: 0.20.205.0 TaskInProgress#kill in the JT fails because TaskStatus#setFinishTimes fails because no start time was set. There's no start time because TaskTracker#run (DefaultTaskController#initializeJob) failed before it was set. The fix is to have TT#launchTask set the start time before it starts the task runner, this way there's a valid start time even if TT#run fails. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
