Arun C Murthy updated MAPREDUCE-430: ------------------------------------ Status: Open (was: Patch Available) I had a chat with Amar to explain my take on this: # {Map|Reduce}Task shouldn't catch Throwable except for the parts where they deal with threads e.g. copier threads or merge threads in which case they should use a Throwable variable to save the error and check for it. # Child should catch Throwable, inform the TaskTracker via TaskUmbilicalProtocal.fatalError or such and then exit.
