Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-4431: ------------------------------------ Thanks Devaraj. Couple of points: * In case of a job -kill on killed, failed or succeeded jobs, given your patch, we'll get a very ambiguous: "Could not kill the Job since the Job State is {KILLED,FAILED,SUCCEEDED}.". ** Perhaps we can instead check for state better and say things in each case thats more apt/intelligible. *** "Could not kill the job <job ID>, as it has already succeeded." *** "Could not mark the job <job ID> as killed, as it has already failed." *** "The job <job ID> has already been killed." * Can we have a test for this? That is, if we're trying to prevent a double killJob() calls to the AM/cluster. > killing already completed job gives ambiguous message as "Killed job <job id>" > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4431 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4431 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0 > Reporter: Nishan Shetty > Assignee: Devaraj K > Priority: Minor > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-4431.patch > > > If we try to kill the already completed job by the following command it gives > ambiguous message as "Killed job <job id>" > ./mapred job -kill <already completed job id> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
