>    Affects Versions: 0.17.0
>            Reporter: dhruba borthakur

> Hadoop streaming (StreamJob.java) sets mapred.task.timeout to 0. This effectively means that if tasks hang (either due to bad user code or machine related issue), these tasks never encounters a timeout. This causes the entire job to hang.
> I propose that hadoop streaming not set the timeout to 0. By default, the settings in hadoop-default.xml should be effective for streaming jobs.
