Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-4149:
------------------------------------
bq. This definitely seems to work. My only worry is that it will depend very
heavily on the fact that we have the old job status. If there is any case where
this will not be available, the solution breaks.
HADOOP-4053 will make sure that old and new statuses are available. So is your
concern still valid?

> {{JobQueueJobInProgressListener}} uses a {{TreeSet}} to store the sorted
> collection of {{JobInProgress}} objects. The comparator used to sort the JIPs
> follow the following order
> - priority (>=)
> - start time (<=)
> - job id [jt-identifier, job-index] (<=)
> If any JIP object is changed w.r.t priority or start-time, then the TreeSet
> will be inconsistent. Hence doing a delete might not work. Consider the
> following
> 1) jobs are submitted in the following order
> ||number||jobid||priority||
> |1|j1|NORMAL|
> |2|j2|LOW|
> |3|j3|NORMAL|
> 2) The sorted collection will be in the order : {{j1,j3,j2}}
> 3) If job3's priority is changed to LOW then the collection wont change but
> delete will bail out on j1 itself as the comparator will return a -ve number.
> TreeSet uses the comparator both for sorting and deleting. If i indicates
> the index in the collection and obj represents the object under
> consideration, then looks like TreeSet.remove(obj) follows something like :
> - continue to search if the compare(i, obj) is -ve
> - bail out if the compare(i, obj) is +ve
> - delete the obj of compare(i,obj) == 0
