I was investigating a JUnit test (MAPREDUCE-7079 :TestMRIntermediateDataEncryption is failing in precommit builds) that was consistently hanging on Linux VMs and failing Mapreduce pre-builds. I found that the test hangs slows or hangs indefinitely whenever Java reads the random file. I explored two different ways to get that test case to work properly on my local Linux VM running rel7: # To install "haveged" and "rng-tools" on the virtual machine running Rel7. Then, start rngd service {{sudo service rngd start}} . This will fix the problem for all the components on the image including java, native and any other component. # Change java configuration to load urandom {code:bash} sudo vim $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security ## Change the line “securerandom.source=file:/dev/random” to read: securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom {code} The first solution is better because this will fix the problem for everything that requires SSL/TLS or other services that depend upon encryption. Since the precommit build runs on Docker, then it would be best to mount {{/dev/urandom}} from the host as {{/dev/random}} into the container: {code:java} docker run -v /dev/urandom:/dev/random {code} For Yetus, we need to add the mount to the {{DOCKER_EXTRAARGS}} as follows: {code:java} DOCKER_EXTRAARGS+=("-v" "/dev/urandom:/dev/random") {code} ... -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
