Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-4576: ------------------------------------------------ I have "verified" with some code changes that this fixes the issue. It is very difficult to reproduce the error. I had to modify the code to cause the issue to show up more often. I had to make it so the dist cache always was trying to delete things, and it never actually deleted them, I also had to modify it so that all dist cache entries take a long time to download, and on top of that I had to hit it just right so that a job was finishing at the same time a dist cache entry was being deleted. ugg. > Large dist cache can block tasktracker heartbeat > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4576 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4576 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 1.0.0 > Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans > Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans > Attachments: MR-4576.txt > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
