Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-1316:
---------------------------------------
bq. I would suggest introducing a package private API like
JobInProgress.getAllTasks() ....
This will introduce the cost of cloning/duplicating the task references which
might not be a good idea for large jobs. Another issue would be that this
duplication of references might also be visible in jmap outputs which is also
not desirable. I dont see any other good way of doing this with minimal code
change. Thoughts?

> JobTracker fails to remove _unreported_ tasks' mapping from _taskToTIPMap_ if
> the job finishes and retires. _Unreported tasks_ refers to tasks that were
> scheduled but the tasktracker did not report back with the task status. In
> such cases a stale reference is held to TaskInProgress (and thus
> JobInProgress) long after the job is gone leading to memory leak.
