Harsh J resolved HADOOP-3386. ----------------------------- Resolution: Cannot Reproduce I'm not seeing failed task dirs flood my local directories during runtime. Possibly was fixed long ago. > the job directory of a failed task may stay forever on a tasktracker node > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3386 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3386 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Zheng Shao > > See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3370 for details of the > problem. > A tasktracker only cleans out the job dir when the job tracker sends a > "KILLJOB" action in the heartbeat response message. > However, in a corner case, the job tracker will NOT send the "KILLJOB" action > to the task tracker. The case is when there is only failed tasks of this job > on this task tracker; no successful tasks of this job is on this task tracker. > In this case, jobtracker.trackerToTaskMap will not contain an entry of this > task tracker to any tasks of this job. As a result, the job tracker will not > send a KILLJOB action to the task tracker. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
