Runping Qi commented on HADOOP-2119: ------------------------------------ Yes, the #running-mappers kept on going up and went beyond the actual number of RUNNING mappers on the task trackers (which is roughly 3 * NUMBER OF TASK TRACKERS). The problem happened consistently, and easy (for me) to reproduce. The job has 0 reducer, just scans through a large input data set, and the mappers do not write anything out. I've killed the jobtracker, thus cannot do "kill -3" anymore. > JobTracker becomes non-responsive if the task trackers finish task too fast > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2119 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2119 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Runping Qi > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > I ran a job with 0 reducer on a cluster with 390 nodes. > The mappers ran very fast. > The jobtracker lacks behind on committing completed mapper tasks. > The number of running mappers displayed on web UI getting bigger and bigger. > The jos tracker eventually stopped responding to web UI. > No progress is reported afterwards. > Job tracker is running on a separate node. > The job tracker process consumed 100% cpu, with vm size 1.01g (reach the heap > space limit). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
