Tsuyoshi OZAWA commented on MAPREDUCE-5124: ------------------------------------------- I apologize for delaying reply. > So I would throw a ToBusyRetryLater type of exception for once time RPC calls > when the AsyncDispatcher's queue is over a high water mark, but for > heartbeats I would want them to scale the frequency based off of how busy the > AsyncDispatcher is. It's better idea. I'll try to implement both heartbeat-style RPC and one-time RPC. > AM lacks flow control for task events > ------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5124 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5124 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mr-am > Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha, 0.23.5 > Reporter: Jason Lowe > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5124-prototype.txt > > > The AM does not have any flow control to limit the incoming rate of events > from tasks. If the AM is unable to keep pace with the rate of incoming > events for a sufficient period of time then it will eventually exhaust the > heap and crash. MAPREDUCE-5043 addressed a major bottleneck for event > processing, but the AM could still get behind if it's starved for CPU and/or > handling a very large job with tens of thousands of active tasks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
