Haitao Yao commented on PIG-2812:
---------------------------------
well, the spilled files should have been cleared under the normal condition.
But if your job failed, and the Tasktracker reuses the child java process, the
OOM would happen.
I really think spill to one file is better.

> I encountered a reducer's OOM because of java.io.DeleteOnExitHook. And I
> found out that the InternalCachedBag creates a seperate tmp file, and the tmp
> files is deleted on exit. So the file delete hook caused the OOM.
> Why not just hold the tmp file handle and spill only one tmp file?
> Too many tmp files may block the tasktracker start process, if the tmp files
> are not cleaned on time and the tasktracker restarts at this specific time.
