[jira] Created: (HADOOP-1877) it is not possible to make a job fail without retries

it is not possible to make a job fail without retries
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1877
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1877
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: New Feature
         Environment: all
            Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
            Priority: Minor



If a job task fails due to no transient reasons (For example, configuration for the job is not correct) Hadoop will retry the failed tasks as many times as retries have been configured. And it will fail again and again.

There should be an JobKillException -thrown by configure, map and reduce methods- that would make Hadoop not to retry the task and kill the job.
