What do you know about the speculative execution?..

Answer / Prateek Sahai

"Speculative execution is a feature in Hadoop MapReduce that allows tasks to start executing before their dependencies are fully satisfied. If the dependent data becomes available later, the intermediate results produced by the early task will be discarded, and the later task will be rerun with the correct input. This helps reduce job completion time and improve performance."n
