Harsh J commented on HADOOP-7959: --------------------------------- Great catch Bryan. Would you mind contributing a doc-fix patch that fixes the Progressable statement? Thanks, Harsh > Contradiction in Hadoop Documentation > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7959 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7959 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Environment: > http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/util/Progressable.html > Reporter: Bryan Halfpap > Priority: Minor > Labels: Documentation > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/util/Progressable.html > The statement: "This is especially important for operations which take an > insignificant amount of time since, in-lieu of the reported progress, the > framework has to assume that an error has occured and time-out the > operation." in the aforementioned URL directly contradicts > http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/mapred_tutorial.html#Reporter > which states: "where the application takes a significant amount of time to > process individual key/value pairs, this is crucial since the framework might > assume that the task has timed-out and kill that task." > The two statements should be reconciled in order to remove confusion. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
