Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-4428:
------------------------------------------------
You should not need to restart all of yarn to update the counters max. You
should be able to set it on a per application basis assuming that you do not
have it marked as final in mapred-site.xml, although you may get similar errors
in the History Server if you do that.
Could you please file a separate JIRA for the counter's limit issue. We should
have a cleaner way to deal with the counter's limit being exceeded.
I agree with you that this is a fix that needs to happen, Sadly it is just not
a simple fix. I will talk with some co-workers about this to see that we can
come up with.
> A failed job is not available under job history if the job is killed right

> Key: MAPREDUCE-4428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4428
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jobhistoryserver, jobtracker
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
> Reporter: Rahul Jain
> Attachments: am_failed_counter_limits.txt, appMaster_bad.txt,
> appMaster_good.txt, resrcmgr_bad.txt

> We have observed this issue consistently running hadoop CDH4 version (based
> upon 2.0 alpha release):
> In case our hadoop client code gets a notification for a completed job (
> using RunningJob object job, with (job.isComplete() &&
> job.isSuccessful()==false)
> the hadoop client code does an unconditional job.killJob() to terminate the
> job.
> With earlier hadoop versions (verified on hadoop 0.20.2 version), we still
> have full access to job logs afterwards through hadoop console. However, when
> using MapReduceV2, the failed hadoop job no longer shows up under jobhistory
> server. Also, the tracking URL of the job still points to the non-existent
> Application master http port.
> Once we removed the call to job.killJob() for failed jobs from our hadoop
> client code, we were able to access the job in job history with mapreduce V2
> as well. Therefore this appears to be a race condition in the job management
> wrt. job history for failed jobs.
> We do have the application master and node manager logs collected for this
> scenario if that'll help isolate the problem and the fix better.
