Harsh J updated MAPREDUCE-1347: ------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress) This should be good to go for a QA run now. > Missing synchronization in MultipleOutputFormat > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1347 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1347 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.20.2, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Harsh J > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-1347.r2.diff, MAPREDUCE-1347.r3.diff, > MAPREDUCE-1347.r4.diff, MAPREDUCE-1347.r5.diff, MAPREDUCE-1347.r6.diff, > MAPREDUCE-1347.r7.diff, mapreduce.1347.r1.diff > > > MultipleOutputFormat's RecordWriter implementation doesn't use > synchronization when accessing the recordWriters member. When using > multithreaded mappers or reducers, this can result in problems where two > threads will both try to create the same file, causing > AlreadyBeingCreatedException. Doing this more fine-grained than just > synchronizing the whole method is probably a good idea, so that multithreaded > mappers can actually achieve parallelism writing into separate output streams. > From what I can tell, the new API's MultipleOutputs seems not to have this > issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
