Todd Lipcon updated MAPREDUCE-3992:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: mr-3992.txt
Simple patch against trunk. I haven't tried this on an MR2 cluster, but I
tested the equivalent 0.20-based patch. Unfortunately it's difficult to
engineer a unit test case for this.
I'll upload a patch for branch-1 as well if this is accepted.
> Reduce fetcher doesn't verify HTTP status code of response
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-3992
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3992
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mrv1
> Affects Versions: 0.23.1, 0.24.0, 1.0.1
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon

> Currently, the reduce fetch code doesn't check the HTTP status code of the
> response. This can lead to the following situation:
> - the map output servlet gets an IOException after setting the headers but
> before the first call to flush()
> - this causes it to send a response with a non-OK result code, including the
> exception text as the response body (response.sendError() does this if the
> response isn't committed)
> - it will still include the response headers indicating it's a valid response
> In the case of a merge-to-memory, the compression codec might then try to
> interpret the HTML response as compressed data, resulting in either a huge
> allocation (OOME) or some other nasty error. This bug seems to be present in
> MR1, but haven't checked trunk/MR2 yet.
