Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-1342:
---------------------------------------
Wouldnt simply making JobTracker.FaultyTrackerInfo.potentiallyFaultyTrackers a
concurrent HashMap and removing the *synchronized* block in
JobTracker.FaultyTrackerInfo.isBlacklisted() solve the deadlock issue?
> Potential JT deadlock in faulty TT tracking

> Key: MAPREDUCE-1342
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1342
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jobtracker
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Attachments: cycle0.png, mapreduce-1342-1.patch
>
>
> JT$FaultyTrackersInfo.incrementFaults first locks potentiallyFaultyTrackers,
> and then calls blackListTracker, which calls removeHostCapacity, which locks
> JT.taskTrackers
> On the other hand, JT.blacklistedTaskTrackers() locks taskTrackers, then
> calls faultyTrackers.isBlacklisted() which goes on to lock
> potentiallyFaultyTrackers.
> I haven't produced such a deadlock, but the lock ordering here is inverted
> and therefore could deadlock.
> Not sure if this goes back to 0.21 or just in trunk.
