             Summary: Include accumulators / taskMetrics when sending TaskKilled to onTaskEnd listeners
                 Key: SPARK-20087
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20087
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Charles Lewis


When tasks end due to an ExceptionFailure, subscribers to onTaskEnd receive accumulators / task metrics for that task, if they were still available. These metrics are not currently sent when tasks are killed intentionally, such as when a speculative retry finishes, and the original is killed (or vice versa). Since we're killing these tasks ourselves, these metrics should almost always exist, and we should treat them the same way as we treat ExceptionFailures.

Sending these metrics with the TaskKilled end reason makes aggregation across all tasks in an app more accurate. This data can inform decisions about how to tune the speculation parameters in order to minimize duplicated work, and in general, the total cost of an app should include both successful and failed tasks, if that information exists.
