Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-1316:
------------------------------------------
bq. Note that the implementation of JobInProgrsss.getTasks(TaskType) uses
string comparison for enums instead of '==' or equals because of the jvm bug
raised here. I think its safer to compare enum names.
The bug you point to is irrelevant in the current context i.e.
JobInProgress.getTasks(TaskType) - '==' or equals is the right implementation.
> JobTracker holds stale references to retired jobs via unreported tasks

> 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.
