Bikas Saha commented on MAPREDUCE-5485: --------------------------------------- I am not disagreeing with the AM retry in an absolute sense. However, it does not seem to belong to this jira and is likely better done as a follow up. > Allow repeating job commit by extending OutputCommitter API > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5485 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta > Reporter: Nemon Lou > Assignee: Junping Du > Priority: Critical > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5485-demo-2.patch, MAPREDUCE-5485-demo.patch, > MAPREDUCE-5485-v1.patch, MAPREDUCE-5485-v2.patch > > > There are chances MRAppMaster crush during job committing,or NodeManager > restart cause the committing AM exit due to container expire.In these cases > ,the job will fail. > However,some jobs can redo commit so failing the job becomes unnecessary. > Let clients tell AM to allow redo commit or not is a better choice. > This idea comes from Jason Lowe's comments in MAPREDUCE-4819 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
