The patch doesn't break any mapred functionality > Old mapred API combiner uses NULL reporter > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3376 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3376 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv1, mrv2 > Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 0.23.0, 0.24.0 > Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans > Assignee: Subroto Sanyal > Fix For: 0.23.1 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-3376.patch > > > The OldCombinerRunner class inside Task.java uses a NULL Reporter. If the > combiner code runs for an extended period of time, even with reporting > progress as it should, the map task can timeout and be killed. It appears > that the NewCombinerRunner class uses a valid reporter and as such is not > impacted by this bug. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
