[jira] [Created] (MAPREDUCE-4890) Invalid TaskImpl state
transitions when task fails while speculating
Jason Lowe created MAPREDUCE-4890:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Invalid TaskImpl state transitions when task fails while speculating
Key: MAPREDUCE-4890
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4890
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Bug
Components: mr-am
Affects Versions: 0.23.5, 2.0.2-alpha
Reporter: Jason Lowe
Priority: Critical
There are a couple of issues when a task fails while speculating (i.e.: multiple attempts are active):
# The other active attempts are not killed.
# TaskImpl's FAILED state does not handle the T_ATTEMPT_* set of events which can be sent from the other active attempts. These all need to be handled since they can be sent asynchronously from the other active task attempts.
Failure to handle this properly means jobs that are configured to normally tolerate failures via mapreduce.map.failures.maxpercent or mapreduce.reduce.failures.maxpercent and also speculate can easily end up failing due to invalid state transitions rather than complete successfully with a few explicitly allowed task failures.
