Sharad Agarwal commented on MAPREDUCE-4358: ------------------------------------------- This is already handled by actively looking at the available headroom for the job and ramp down (pre-empt) the reduces if needed. Are you seeing this issue in your cluster ? > Reducers are assigned containers before all maps are assigned containers > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4358 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4358 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Ahmed Radwan > > Reducers start to get containers before all maps are. We have seen this issue > and it is problematic since if there is no avaialable resources for the > remaining maps, the job will just stall where reducers are waiting for > mappers which are unable to start because there is no containers available. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
