ESTIMATING A PERFORMANCE PARAMETER OF A JOB HAVING MAP AND REDUCE TASKS AFTER A FAILURE

A job profile includes characteristics of a job to be executed, where the characteristics of the job profile relate to map tasks and reduce tasks of the job, and where the map tasks produce intermediate results based on input data, and the reduce tasks produce an output based on the intermediate results. In response to a failure in a system, numbers of failed map tasks and reduce tasks of the job based on a time of the failure are computed, and numbers of remaining map tasks and reduce tasks are computed. A performance model is provided, and a performance parameter of the job is estimated using the performance model.
