Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-4506:
------------------------------------------------
Piotr,
I agree that it is ugly to see the exception come out, but I am not really sure
that your fix is the right one for 1.0. Making the memory manager blocking
means that the jetty thread on the task tracker will not be able to serve up
results to others. This could potentially slow down processing for very large
jobs. I think it would be a lot better to do something like that on trunk,
where the problem also exists, but the node manager uses netty instead of jetty
so it is not a full thread that is blocked but just some memory and a file
descriptor. Assuming that we have a timeout on how long the thread waits for
memory to become available.

> The problem looks like some network problems at first, however it turns out
> that hadoop shuffleInMemory sometimes deliberately closes map-output-copy
> connections just to reopen them a few milliseconds later, because of
> temporary unavailability of free memory. Because the sending side does not
> expect this, an exception is thrown. Additionally this leads to wasting
> resources on the sender side, which does more work than required serving
> additional requests.
