However, the error message may mess up with the history file format, choking the history parser. Here is an example:

MapAttempt TASK_TYPE="MAP" TASKID="tip_200712102254_0001_m_000090" TASK_ATTEMPT_ID="task_200712102254_0001_m_000090_0" TASK_STATUS="FAILED" FINISH_TIME="1197327293253" HOSTNAME="XXXX:50050" ERROR="java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Trouble to get key or value (<,> substituted by null
