TaskTracker should release slot if task is not launched -------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2214 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2214 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.20.1 Reporter: Ramkumar Vadali Assignee: Ramkumar Vadali TaskTracker.TaskInProgress.launchTask() does not launch a task if it is not in an expected state. However, in the case where the task is not launched, the slot is not released. We have observed this in production - the task was in SUCCEEDED state by the time launchTask() got to it and then the slot was never released. It is not clear how the task got into that state, but it is better to handle the case. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
