Message 6536 - Posted 23 Dec 2011 17:32:58 UTC

From time to time I encounter a task that reports that it is restarting every three minutes. So far, I've been aborting the tasks that do that - should I be doing something else? Is there a way to resolve this?

It just happened again, on the next task it started after I aborted the earlier one. I'm suspending all my tasks on this project until I get some word on what's going on here.

Hi WascoZooKeeper,

Thanks for letting us know this problem! When we did the testing before the distribution, we did not observe this problem in our testing machines, and we are monitoring D@H and so far this is the first report, thus it is hard for us to identify common pattern that is behind this problem (e.g., certain type of complex, certain type of processor, os, etc).

The best suggestion we can make now is to detach and reattach the D@H project, this will end the old complexes that you may have and start with the most recent complex. If this is a complex related issue, it will be gone. And if the problem persists, this may suggest to us it is uncorrelated to the type of complex and we will try new approaches. Thanks a lot for letting us know this interesting problem!

It just happened again, on the next task it started after I aborted the earlier one. I'm suspending all my tasks on this project until I get some word on what's going on here.
