----------------------------------------------------------------

If it s a C/C++ program, why not print the stacktrace in the signal handler to stderr? Is stderr shown on webui? With a multithreaded program, stack trace with core may not show the stacktrace for the offending thread, rather for the last thread that is killed last (at least on x86 Linux, anyway).

> This basically is for providing a better user interface for debugging failed
> jobs. Today we see stack traces for failed tasks on the job ui if the job
> happened to be a Java MR job. For non-Java jobs like Streaming, Pipes, the
> diagnostic info on the job UI is not helpful enough to debug what might have
> gone wrong. They are usually framework traces and not app traces.
> We want to be able to provide a facility, via user-provided scripts, for doing
> post-processing on task logs, input, output, etc. There should be some default
> scripts like running core dumps under gdb for locating illegal instructions,
> the last few lines from stderr, etc.  These outputs could be sent to the
> tasktracker and in turn to the jobtracker which would then display it on the
> job UI on demand.
