Speculative task attempts to same node

[Dharmesh Kakadia <dh...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am having this issue, where one of the nodes on my yarn cluster is
behaving badly and all the containers assigned to it are extremely slow.

Now, what MR AM does when it sees one of the task attempt to be much slower
and launches a speculative attempt, but that is assigned to the same slow
node, which ends up making it even more slower. I am waiting for this job
to finish, while I have my entire cluster lying idle.

So, I am wondering if there is any setting/configuration, which will
disallow assigning speculative attempts to the same node?
Or should I create jira/issue for the same ?

Thanks,
Dharmesh
