> This is post HADOOP-3366. The inmem merge thread has the loop:
> {code}
> while (!exitInMemMerge) {
> ramManager.waitForDataToMerge();
> doInMemMerge();
> }
> {code}
> The fetchOutputs, at the end of copying everything, does the following:
> {code}
> exitInMemMerge = true;
> ramManager.close();
> {code}
> Now if the merge thread is doing a merge (inside the doInMemMerge method)
> when the exitInMemMerge is set to true, the loop will break and the last
> merge of the files that got shuffled recently will be skipped.
> ramManager.close(), that internally does a final notify to the merge thread
> also won't have any effect in this case.
