Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-4842: ----------------------------------------------- If Asokan's approach addresses the problem of this JIRA while simplifying the existing code and it does not introduce regressions, why not use for this JIRA and improve it with a follow up JIRA(s)? > 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, > 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.
