yes, but I use pydoop not the native java library. The problem is that
the same task times, so a solution is not that straightforward. And
Pydoop does not seem to have any methods to inform the task how many
times it has failed. So if there is no native method in hadoop, I
could use a database or something for that purpose. Any other ideas?

Hi,

Are tasks being executed multiple times due to failures? Sorry, it was not
very clear from your question.

Thanks

yes, and I simply want to skip them if they fail more than x
times(after all this is big data :) ).
