Killing! > {code} > The bug is in the fact that the mapper has already finished, and, according > to the logs, the timeout occurs during the merge sort phase. > The intermediate data generated by the map task is quite large. So I think > this is the problem. > The logs show that the merge-sort was running for 10 minutes when the task > was killed. > I think the mapred.Merger should call Reporter.progress() somewhere. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
