Anupam Seth updated MAPREDUCE-2177:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Lacking progress update in combiner phase can cause map task
timeouts (was: The wait for spill completion should call
Condition.awaitNanos(long nanosTimeout))

> We sometimes saw maptask timeout in cdh3b2. Here is log from one of the
> maptasks:
> 2010-11-04 10:34:23,820 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask: Spilling map
> output: buffer full= true
> 2010-11-04 10:34:23,820 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask: bufstart =
> 119534169; bufend = 59763857; bufvoid = 298844160
> 2010-11-04 10:34:23,820 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask: kvstart =
> 438913; kvend = 585320; length = 983040

> 2010-11-04 10:45:41,289 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask: Finished spill
> 4
> Note how long the last spill took.
> In MapTask.java, the following code waits for spill to finish:
> while (kvstart != kvend) { reporter.progress(); spillDone.await(); }
> In trunk code, code is similar.
> There is no timeout mechanism for Condition.await(). In case the SpillThread
> takes long before calling spillDone.signal(), we would see timeout.
> Condition.awaitNanos(long nanosTimeout) should be called.
