Thomas Graves commented on MAPREDUCE-2705: ------------------------------------------ Note 1.2MB should be 1.2GB. > tasks localized and launched serially by TaskLauncher - causing other tasks > to be delayed > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2705 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2705 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tasktracker > Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0 > Reporter: Thomas Graves > Assignee: Thomas Graves > > The current TaskLauncher serially launches new tasks one at a time. During > the launch it does the localization and then starts the map/reduce task. > This can cause any other tasks to be blocked waiting for the current task to > be localized and started. In some instances we have seen a task that has a > large file to localize (1.2MB) block another task for about 40 minutes. This > particular task being blocked was a cleanup task which caused the job to be > delayed finishing for the 40 minutes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
