Hi all,

I have a weird failure occurring every now and then during a MapReduce job.

This is the error:

*java.lang.Throwable: Child Error*
* at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner.run(TaskRunner.java:271)*
*Caused by: java.io.IOException: Task process exit with nonzero status of
255.*
* at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner.run(TaskRunner.java:258)*
*
*
And sometimes it's the same but with *status of 126.*
*
*
Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Hi Amit,

Which Hadoop version are you using?

I have been told it's because of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2374

Hi Jean-Marc,
I am running Hadoop 1.0.3, and I did see this issue you've mentioned but
the exit status in the issue is 126 and sometimes I get 255.
Any ideas what do theses status codes mean ?
Did you suffer this issue and upgraded to 1.0.4 ? If so, How "smooth" is
such upgrade (shouldn't differ from 1.0.3 that much no ?)

Thanks!

That JIRA says "fix version=1.0.4" but it is not correct.  The real JIRA
is MAPREDUCE-2374.

The actual fix version for this bug 1.1.2
