Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-1316:
---------------------------------------
bq. I was asking for details on the tests run to verify the fix...
Iyappan successfully reproduced this bug by killing jobs with tasks that are
yet to report their first status (by suspending the tasktrackers). Also he
successfully reproduced this bug for completed jobs with speculation turned ON
and also for jobs killed while the setup is still running. He used jmap and
jobtracker logs to verify the memory leak.
> 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.
