                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-564

            Priority: Minor

If the -Xmx line in a java invocation has errors such as is possible with quoting issues as would be possible with hive

hive> set mapred.map.child.java.opts="-server -Xmx2248m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true";

The diagnostic error message says

{code}
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask
{code}

The job history UI is rather unhelpful and the UI says 

{code}
Attmpt state missing from History : marked as KILLED
{code}

And the log files are not available and instead show

{code}
Logs not available for attempt_1365673149565_0002_m_000000_3. Aggregation may not be complete, Check back later or try the nodemanager at :-1
{code}
