Haibo Chen commented on MAPREDUCE-5124: --------------------------------------- Turns out MapReduce-6242 has already made the task heartbeat period configurable (mapreduce.task.progress-report.interval). Will leave this to implement the other approach, automatic task flow control, as Jason suggested. > 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 > Assignee: Haibo Chen > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5124-proto.2.txt, 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 was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mapreduce-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mapreduce-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
