Nathan Roberts updated MAPREDUCE-5308: -------------------------------------- Attachment: MAPREDUCE-5308.patch Patch for trunk > Shuffling to memory can get out-of-sync when fetching multiple compressed map > outputs > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5308 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5308 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: trunk, 2.0.3-alpha, 0.23.8 > Reporter: Nathan Roberts > Assignee: Nathan Roberts > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5308.patch > > > When a reducer is fetching multiple compressed map outputs from a host, the > fetcher can get out-of-sync with the IFileInputStream, causing several of the > maps to fail to fetch. > This occurs because decompressors can return all the decompressed bytes > before actually processing all the bytes in the compressed stream (due to > checksums or other trailing data that we ignore). In the unfortunate case > where these extra bytes cross an io.file.buffer.size boundary, some extra > bytes will be left over and the next map_output will not fetch correctly > (usually due to an invalid map_id). > This scenario is not typically fatal to a job because the failure is charged > to the map_output immediately following the "bad" one and the subsequent > retry will normally work. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
