Github user cloud-fan commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/791#issuecomment-43484083 As far as I know, reasons for task failure may be: exception happens during task execution, Executor lost and relaunch, stage cancelled by user. But I'm not sure if I listed all the reasons. And I don't know the detail how spark relaunch Executor and cancel stage and how to handle these when dropping memory blocks. Is a try-catch enough for it? I want to reset the dropping flag if the task is terminated.
