Jason Lowe commented on HADOOP-10048:
-------------------------------------
The unit tests failures appear to be unrelated, and the tests pass for me
locally with the patch applied.
> LocalDirAllocator should avoid holding locks while accessing the filesystem

> As noted in MAPREDUCE-5584 and HADOOP-7016, LocalDirAllocator can be a
> bottleneck for multithreaded setups like the ShuffleHandler. We should
> consider moving to a lockless design or minimizing the critical sections to a
> very small amount of time that does not involve I/O operations.
