Summary: Mappers get rescheduled on node transition even after all reducers
are completed (was: mappers get rescheduled on node transition even after all
reducers are completed)

> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: applicationmaster
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Sangjin Lee

>
> We're seeing a behavior where a job runs long after all reducers were already
> finished. We found that the job was rescheduling and running a number of
> mappers beyond the point of reducer completion. In one situation, the job ran
> for some 9 more hours after all reducers completed!
> This happens because whenever a node transition (to an unusable state) comes
> into the app master, it just reschedules all mappers that already ran on the
> node in all cases.
> Therefore, if any node transition has a potential to extend the job period.
> Once this window opens, another node transition can prolong it, and this can
> happen indefinitely in theory.
> If there is some instability in the pool (unhealthy, etc.) for a duration,
> then any big job is severely vulnerable to this problem.
> If all reducers have been completed, JobImpl.actOnUnusableNode() should not
> reschedule mapper tasks. If all reducers are completed, the mapper outputs
> are no longer needed, and there is no need to reschedule mapper tasks as they
> would not be consumed anyway.
