Ravi Kishore Valeti commented on PHOENIX-2154: ---------------------------------------------- [~maghamraviki...@gmail.com] I think the major task for the subject line, "Failure of one mapper should not affect other mappers in MR index build", is missing from the task list :). Even a single map task eventual failure (after retires) will mark the job as "failed" and I think there is no way to resume ONLY a specific task in the next run (unless we write custom logic?). Next run will be a fresh job execution. [~jamestaylor] [~lhofhansl] please correct me if I'm wrong. > Failure of one mapper should not affect other mappers in MR index build > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-2154 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2154 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: James Taylor > Assignee: maghamravikiran > Attachments: IndexTool.java, PHOENIX-2154-WIP.patch > > > Once a mapper in the MR index job succeeds, it should not need to be re-done > in the event of the failure of one of the other mappers. The initial > population of an index is based on a snapshot in time, so new rows getting > *after* the index build has started and/or failed do not impact it. > Also, there's a 1:1 correspondence between index rows and table rows, so > there's really no need to dedup. However, the index rows will have a > different row key than the data table, so I'm not sure how the HFiles are > split. Will they potentially overlap and is this an issue? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
