Marco Nicosia updated HADOOP-2391:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.16.1
Setting Fix Version to Hadoop 0.16.1. Not only might users see this even when
speculative execution is turned off, it's even more likely for users to see
this when it's turned on. So, this patch is more or less preventing us from
deploying speculative execution as the default for our clusters.

> I am tracking a problem where when speculative execution is enabled, there is
> a race condition when trying to read output paths from a previously completed
> job. More specifically when reduce tasks run their output is put into a
> working directory under the task name until the task in completed. The
> directory name is something like workdir/_taskid. Upon completion the output
> get moved into workdir. Regular tasks are checked for this move and not
> considered completed until this move is made. I have not verified it but all
> indications point to speculative tasks NOT having this same check for
> completion and more importantly removal when killed. So what we end up with
> when trying to read the output of previous tasks with speculative execution
> enabled is the possibility that previous workdir/_taskid will be present when
> the output directory is read by a chained job. Here is an error when
> supports my theory:
> Generator: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException: Cannot
