Job should fail if a reduce task can't be scheduled anywhere
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2324
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2324
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.20.2
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
If there's a reduce task that needs more disk space than is available on any mapred.local.dir
in the cluster, that task will stay pending forever. For example, we produced this in a QA
cluster by accidentally running terasort with one reducer - since no mapred.local.dir had
1T free, the job remained in pending state for several days. The reason for the "stuck" task
wasn't clear from a user perspective until we looked at the JT logs.
Probably better to just fail the job if a reduce task goes through all TTs and finds that
there isn't enough space.
