Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1874:
--------------------------------------
Long-term we intend to avoid using the FileSystem API directly in MR tasks
(HADOOP-1558). Outputs should entirely be defined by the OutputFormat. The
trackers shouldn't call JobConf#getOutputPath() or FileSystem#rename()
directly, but rather should invoke an OutputFormat method that does these sorts
of things (and should do so in a separate jvm...).
So we should call the new state something more generic, like COMMIT_PENDING.

> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapred
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Christian Kunz
> Assignee: Devaraj Das
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: lazy-dfs-ops.patch
>
>
> This happens on a 1400 node cluster using a recent nightly build patched with
> HADOOP-1763 (that fixes a previous 'lost task tracker' issue) running a
> c++-pipes job with 4200 maps and 2800 reduces. The task trackers start to get
> lost in high numbers at the end of job completion.
> Similar non-pipes job do not show the same problem, but is unclear whether it
> is related to c++-pipes. It could also be dfs overload when reduce tasks
> close and validate all newly created dfs files. I see dfs client rpc timeout
> exception. But this alone does not explain the escalation in losing task
> trackers.
> I also noticed that the job tracker becomes rather unresponsive with rpc
> timeout and call queue overflow exceptions. Job Tracker is running with 60
> handlers.
