Thomas Graves commented on MAPREDUCE-4842: ------------------------------------------ I ran some shuffle and sort tests and on the shuffle test job times were ~90 seconds worse with Asokan's patch then without, with that time being take by reducers. Sort test was showing a wide variation. One run took 680 seconds, the next 770 seconds. I don't normally see that much difference between runs. The runs without the patch were 680 and 700 seconds. > 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.
