Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-4842: ----------------------------------------------- I had a cluster setup with trunk to run some gridmix tests (for MAPREDUCE-2454) and before shutting it down I've done a couple of runs using Asokan's patch. 35 machines cluster. The trace had ~1000 jobs. I've done 2 runs with trunk and 2 runs with the patch. TRUNK: Time spent in simulation: 43mins, 31sec Time spent in simulation: 41mins, 28sec MAPREDUCE-4842 Time spent in simulation: 39mins, 30sec Time spent in simulation: 39mins, 25sec It would worth looking if it could be modified to control the number of merges being created. > Shuffle race can hang reducer > ----------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4842 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha, 0.23.5 > Reporter: Jason Lowe > Assignee: Jason Lowe > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: mapreduce-4842.patch, MAPREDUCE-4842.patch, > MAPREDUCE-4842.patch, MAPREDUCE-4842.patch, MAPREDUCE-4842.patch > > > Saw an instance where the shuffle caused multiple reducers in a job to hang. > It looked similar to the problem described in MAPREDUCE-3721, where the > fetchers were all being told to WAIT by the MergeManager but no merge was > taking place. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
