    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-343?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12771867#action_12771867 ] 

Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-343:
--------------------------------------

I think its high time we should get this in. Too time consuming scanning jobtracker logs finding out why the job failed.

> From user's perspective it is difficult to detect why the job failed . Users might need to go through the jobtracker logs or task attempts list to see why the job failed. It would be good to show the reason on the job web ui. Something like
> {code}
> User: bob
> Job Name: example
> Job File: hdfs://location/job.xml
> Status: Failed
> Reason : Map/Reduce task # 47 failed x number of times.
> {code}
