Appendix E - Task-controller and Container-executor Error Codes
The task-controller and container-executor programs are setuid binaries that Hadoop uses internally to run tasks under the Unix account of the user who submitted the job. For more information about these programs, see Appendix B - Information about Other Hadoop Security Programs.
When you set up a secure cluster for the first time and debug problems
with it, the task-controller or container-executor may encounter errors. These
programs communicate these errors to the TaskTracker or NodeManager daemon via numeric error
codes which will appear in the TaskTracker or NodeManager logs respectively (/var/log/hadoop-mapreduce or /var/log/hadoop-yarn).
The following sections list the possible numeric error codes with descriptions of what they
mean:
