Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-5110: ----------------------------------------------- +1, nice hunting. > Long task launch delays can lead to multiple parallel attempts of the task > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5110 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5110 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tasktracker > Affects Versions: 1.1.2 > Reporter: Karthik Kambatla > Assignee: Karthik Kambatla > Attachments: expose-mr-5110.patch, mr-5110.patch, mr-5110.patch > > > If a task takes too long to launch, the JT expires the task and schedules > another attempt. The earlier attempt can start after the later attempt > leading to two parallel attempts running at the same time. This is > particularly an issue if the user turns off speculation and expects a single > attempt of a task to run at any point in time. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
