Hudson commented on HADOOP-3837: -------------------------------- Integrated in Hadoop-trunk #581 (See [http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Hadoop-trunk/581/]) > hadop streaming does not use progress reporting to detect hung tasks > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3837 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3837 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib/streaming > Affects Versions: 0.17.0 > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Fix For: 0.18.0, 0.19.0 > > Attachments: streamTimeout.patch, streamTimeout.patch > > > Hadoop streaming (StreamJob.java) sets mapred.task.timeout to 0. This > effectively means that if tasks hang (either due to bad user code or machine > related issue), these tasks never encounters a timeout. This causes the > entire job to hang. > I propose that hadoop streaming not set the timeout to 0. By default, the > settings in hadoop-default.xml should be effective for streaming jobs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
