>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3632
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 0.16.3
>            Reporter: Severin Hacker
>   Original Estimate: 72h
>  Remaining Estimate: 72h
>
> I run 50 iterations of a program with 500 maps and no reduces. I have noticed the following behaviour:
> In 50% of the iterations:
> 499 maps finish in 50 seconds
> 1 map finishes after 4 minutes
> Total time is 4 minutes.
> In 50% of the iterations:
> 500 maps finish in 50 seconds
> Total time is 50 seconds.
> It would be nice if I could tell hadoop to stop after 99% of the maps have finished (and not wait for that last straggler). In my application it's perfectly fine if I only get 99% of the results, as long as the straggler is not always using the same data.
> Please fix!
