Summary: When using DefaultTaskController, JobLocalizer not thread safe Key: MAPREDUCE-4843 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4843 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: tasktracker Affects Versions: 1.1.1 Reporter: zhaoyunjiong Priority: Critical In our cluster, some times job will failed due to below exception: Error initializing attempt_201210181806_18566_r_000376_0: org.apache.hadoop.util.DiskChecker$DiskErrorException: Could not find taskTracker/$username/jobcache/job_201210181806_18566/job.xml in any of the configured local directories at org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalDirAllocator$AllocatorPerContext.getLocalPathToRead(LocalDirAllocator.java:424) The root cause is JobLocalizer is not thread safe. In DefaultTaskController.initializeJob method: JobLocalizer localizer = new JobLocalizer((JobConf)getConf(), user, jobid); but in JobLocalizer, it just simply keep the reference of the conf. When two TaskLauncher threads(mapLauncher and reduceLauncher) try to initializeJob at same time, it will have two JobLocalizer, but one conf instance. So some times ttConf.setStrings(JOB_LOCAL_CTXT, localDirs) will reset previous job's conf. It will cause the previous job's job.xml stored at another user's dir. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
