Dustin Cote updated MAPREDUCE-6357: ----------------------------------- Attachment: MAPREDUCE-6357-1.patch Fixing a typo and checkstyle warning. No tests since this is a doc change. > MultipleOutputs.write() API should document that output committing is not > utilized when input path is absolute > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-6357 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6357 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: Ivan Mitic > Assignee: Dustin Cote > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-6357-1.patch > > > After spending the afternoon debugging a user job where reduce tasks were > failing on retry with the below exception, I think it would be worthwhile to > add a note in the MultipleOutputs.write() documentation, saying that absolute > paths may cause improper execution of tasks on retry or when MR speculative > execution is enabled. > {code} > 2015-04-28 23:13:10,452 WARN [main] org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild: > Exception running child : java.io.IOException: File already > exists:wasb://full20150...@bgtstoragefull.blob.core.windows.net/user/hadoop/some/path/block-r-00299.bz2 > at > org.apache.hadoop.fs.azure.NativeAzureFileSystem.create(NativeAzureFileSystem.java:1354) > at > org.apache.hadoop.fs.azure.NativeAzureFileSystem.create(NativeAzureFileSystem.java:1195) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:908) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:889) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.create(FileSystem.java:786) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.TextOutputFormat.getRecordWriter(TextOutputFormat.java:135) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.MultipleOutputs.getRecordWriter(MultipleOutputs.java:475) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.MultipleOutputs.write(MultipleOutputs.java:433) > at > com.ancestry.bigtree.hadoop.LevelReducer.processValue(LevelReducer.java:91) > at > com.ancestry.bigtree.hadoop.LevelReducer.reduce(LevelReducer.java:69) > at > com.ancestry.bigtree.hadoop.LevelReducer.reduce(LevelReducer.java:14) > at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer.run(Reducer.java:171) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask.runNewReducer(ReduceTask.java:627) > at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask.run(ReduceTask.java:389) > at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild$2.run(YarnChild.java:163) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:415) > at > org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1628) > at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild.main(YarnChild.java:158) > {code} > As discussed in MAPREDUCE-3772, when the baseOutputPath passed to > MultipleOutputs.write() is an absolute path (or more precisely a path that > resolves outside of the job output-dir), the concept of output committing is > not utilized. > In this case, the user read thru the MultipleOutputs docs and was assuming > that everything will be working fine, as there are blog posts saying that > MultipleOutputs does handle output commit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
