> As part of TEZ-2237, the outputs send empty events when the output is closed without being started (which happens in task init failures).
> These events are obsoleted when a task fails and this happens in the AM, but not before the dispatcher looks at them.
> Depending on the timing, the empty events can escape obsoletion & be sent to a downstream task.
> This gets marked as a SKIPPED event in the downstream task, which means that further obsoletion events sent to the downstream task is ignored (because a zero byte fetch is not repeated on node failure).
> So the downstream task can exit without actually waiting for the retry of the failed task and cause silent dataloss in case where the retry succeeds in another attempt.
> So if processor.close() throws an exception, this introduce a race condition and if the AM is too fast, we end up with correctness issues.
> This was originally reported in TEZ-955
