[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1351) Want to kill a particular task or attempt

Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-1351:
---------------------------------------

Enis, with due consideration I'd like to suggest an alternative, simpler approach:

On receipt of {{killTask}} from the user, call {{TaskInProgress.incompleteSubTask}} and mark the task as {{FAILED}} (and not {{KILLED}} since you want this attempt to count against the job).

Then hack {{TaskInProgress.shouldCloseForClosedJob}} (I'd suggest rename that to 'shouldTerminate' or something along those lines...) to return {{true}} for that attempt so as to notify the TaskTracker on the next heartbeat. (Basically you'll have ensure the {{taskReportedClosed}} data-structure is maintained correctly i.e. add succesful/failed/killed taskids to this from {{alreadyCompletedTask}}, {{completedTask}} & {{incompleteSubTask}} ).

> It would be convenient to be able to kill a particular task or attempt from the command line. It would look like:
> bin/hadoop job -kill-task tip_0001_m_000000
> bin/hadoop job -kill-attempt task_0001_m_000000_0
> This would allow the user to tell the system to stop a particular task or attempt without having to restart a task tracker.
