Per-Job Blacklisting
The configuration value mapred.max.tracker.failures
in
mapred-site.xml (MapReduce v1)
specifies a number of task failures in a
specific job after which the TaskTracker is blacklisted for that job. The TaskTracker can
still accept tasks from other jobs, as long as it is not blacklisted cluster-wide (see
below).
A job can only blacklist up to 25% of TaskTrackers in the cluster.
