             Summary: LocalJobRunner may fail due to metrics name collision
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-7128
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-7128
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon


Running Hive in local mode, I got the following failure:
{code}
        Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.metrics2.MetricsException: Metrics source 
LocalJobRunnerMetrics-1090927800 already exists!
                at 
org.apache.hadoop.metrics2.lib.DefaultMetricsSystem.newSourceName(DefaultMetricsSystem.java:152)
                at 
org.apache.hadoop.metrics2.lib.DefaultMetricsSystem.sourceName(DefaultMetricsSystem.java:125)
                at

                at 
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LocalJobRunnerMetrics.create(LocalJobRunnerMetrics.java:46)
...
{code}

It seems that it tries to generate a unique metrics source name using a random 
32-bit integer. When running some longer-lived program that runs many separate 
jobs (such as HS2) this can easily collide. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack has some tables for the 
probabilities.
