Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-3343:
------------------------------------------------
The patch itself looks good to me, but I would like to see some tests added, or
a justification why no tests are needed.

> This Out of Memory happens when you run large number of jobs (using the
> distributed cache) on a TaskTracker.
> Seems the basic issue is with the distributedCacheManager (instance of
> TrackerDistributedCacheManager in TaskTracker.java), this gets created during
> TaskTracker.initialize(), and it keeps references to
> TaskDistributedCacheManager for every submitted job via the jobArchives Map,
> also references to CacheStatus via cachedArchives map. I am not seeing these
> cleaned up between jobs, so this can out of memory problems after really
> large number of jobs are submitted. We have seen this issue in a number of
> cases.
