Robert Joseph Evans updated MAPREDUCE-4089: ------------------------------------------- Attachment: MR-4089.txt I thought it would be good to leave the ping timeout in just to be sure that if someone did disable the progress timeout with a 0 we could still detect a task that has something bad with it, but I can see your point. I updated the mapred-default.xml to include information about a value of 0. This is also to maintain compatability with 1.0. > Hung Tasks never time out. > --------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4089 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4089 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 0.23.2, 2.0.0, trunk > Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans > Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: MR-4089.txt, MR-4089.txt, MR-4089.txt, MR-4089.txt > > > The AM will timeout a task through mapreduce.task.timeout only when it does > not hear from the task within the given timeframe. On 1.0 a task must be > making progress, either by reading input from HDFS, writing output to HDFS, > writing to a log, or calling a special method to inform it that it is still > making progress. > This is because on 0.23 a status update which happens every 3 seconds is > counted as progress. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
