Priyo Mustafi commented on MAPREDUCE-1783: ------------------------------------------ Hi Scott, Can you commit this on 0.22 as well? Thanks > Task Initialization should be delayed till when a job can be run > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1783 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1783 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/fair-share > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Ramkumar Vadali > Assignee: Ramkumar Vadali > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: 0001-Pool-aware-job-initialization.patch, > 0001-Pool-aware-job-initialization.patch.1, MAPREDUCE-1783.patch, > submit-mapreduce-1783.patch > > > The FairScheduler task scheduler uses PoolManager to impose limits on the > number of jobs that can be running at a given time. However, jobs that are > submitted are initiaiized immediately by EagerTaskInitializationListener by > calling JobInProgress.initTasks. This causes the job split file to be read > into memory. The split information is not needed until the number of running > jobs is less than the maximum specified. If the amount of split information > is large, this leads to unnecessary memory pressure on the Job Tracker. > To ease memory pressure, FairScheduler can use another implementation of > JobInProgressListener that is aware of PoolManager limits and can delay task > initialization until the number of running jobs is below the maximum. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
