> The following was noticed on a mr job running on hadoop 1.1.0
> 1. Start an mr job with 1 mapper
> 2. Wait for a min
> 3. Kill the first attempt of the mapper and then subsequently kill the other 3 attempts in order to fail the job
> The time taken to kill the task grew exponentially.
> 1st attempt was killed immediately.
> 2nd attempt took a little over a min
> 3rd attempt took approx. 20 mins
> 4th attempt took around 3 hrs.
> The command used to kill the attempt was "hadoop job -fail-task"
> Note that the command returned immediately as soon as the fail attempt was accepted but the time the attempt was actually killed was as stated above.
