Any reason a bunch of nearly-identical jobs would suddenly stop working?

So I queued up a batch of jobs last night to run overnight (and into the
day a bit, owing to to a bottleneck on the scheduler the way that things
are currently implemented), made sure they were running correctly, went
to sleep, and when I woke up in the morning, they were failing all over
the place.

Since each of these jobs was basicaly the same pig script being run with
a different set of parameters, I tried re-reunning it with the
parameters that it had run (successfully) with the night before, and it
also failed. So I started whittling away at steps to try and find the
origin of the failure, until I was even getting a failure loading the
initial data, and dumping it out. Basically, I've reduced things to a
matter of

apa = LOAD '/rawfiles/08556ecf5c6841d59eb702e9762e649a/{1296432000,1296435600,1296439200,1296442800,1296446400,1296450000,1296453600,1296457200,1296460800,1296464400,1296468000,1296471600,1296475200,1296478800,1296482400,1296486000,1296489600,1296493200,1296496800,1296500400,1296504000,1296507600,1296511200,1296514800}/*/apa' USING com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.LzoTokenizedLoader(',') AS (timestamp:long, type:chararray, appkey:chararray, uid:chararray, uniq:chararray, shortUniq:chararray, profUid:chararray, addr:chararray, ref:chararray);
dump apa;

and after getting all the happy messages from the loader like:

2011-03-08 21:48:46,454 [Thread-12] INFO com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.LzoBaseLoadFunc - Got 117 LZO slices in total.

2011-03-08 21:50:17,612 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher - 100% complete

It went straight to:

And looking at the stack trace in the logfile, I've got:

My sysadmin's off on vacation for the week, but left information on the
scripts to restart the cluster, so I tried that, and the problem is
still persisting, so I was hoping someone here might have an idea what's
wrong (and how to fix it).

Thanks,
Kris

Did you try checking the task logs ?
There might be more details there ...

Posted by Guy Bayes <fa...@gmail.com>.
Question, do normal map-reduce jobs run on this cluster? Like the example jar jobs?

Also, reading some uncompressed data off the same cluster using
PigStorage shows a failure to even read the data in the first place :|

None of the nodes have more than 20% utilization on any of their disks;
so it must be the cluster figuring that it can get away with this sort
of thing when the sysadmin's not around to set it straight.. clearly a
cluster of redundant/load-sharing sysadmins is also needed :)

Re: Any reason a bunch of nearly-identical jobs would suddenly stop working?

Check task logs. I am guessing you ran out of either hdfs or local disk on
the nodes.

Also, never let your sysadmin go on vacation, that's what makes things
break! :)
