App Engine - Task Queue Retry Count with Mapper API

Question

Hi,

here is what I'm trying to do: I set up a MapReduce job with the new Mapper API. This basically works fine. The problem is that the Task Queue retries all tasks that have failed. But actually I don't want him to do that. Is there a way to delete a task from the queue or tell it that the task was completed successfully? Perhaps passing a 200 status code?

I know that I can fetch the X-Appengine-Taskretrycount, but that doesn't really help since I don't know how to stop the task. I tried using a 'pass' in the try .. except block but that didn't work either.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks, Chris

As of http://code.google.com/p/appengine-mapreduce/source/detail?r=114 change, context object has task_retry_count attribute.
