Todd Lipcon commented on MAPREDUCE-1342:
----------------------------------------
bq. Todd, Can you please run the test and confirm that deadlock no longer
exists, after applying the patch ?
Reran the tests overnight and looks good here. +1 based on that (though I
didn't look at the patch contents themselves)
> 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: 0.20.1
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Fix For: 0.21.0
>
> Attachments: cycle0.png, mapreduce-1342-1.patch,
> mapreduce-1342-2.patch, patch-1342-ydist.txt, patch-1342.txt

> 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.
