Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-657: --------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed] Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) I just committed this. Thanks, Ari! > Free temporary space should be modelled better > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-657 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-657 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.17.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Ari Rabkin > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > Attachments: clean_spaceest.patch, diskspaceest.patch, > diskspaceest_v2.patch, diskspaceest_v3.patch, diskspaceest_v4.patch, > spaceest_717.patch > > > Currently, there is a configurable size that must be free for a task tracker > to accept a new task. However, that isn't a very good model of what the task > is likely to take. I'd like to propose: > Map tasks: totalInputSize * conf.getFloat("map.output.growth.factor", 1.0) / > numMaps > Reduce tasks: totalInputSize * 2 * conf.getFloat("map.output.growth.factor", > 1.0) / numReduces > where totalInputSize is the size of all the maps inputs for the given job. > To start a new task, > newTaskAllocation + (sum over running tasks of (1.0 - done) * allocation) > >= > free disk * conf.getFloat("mapred.max.scratch.allocation", 0.90); > So in English, we will model the expected sizes of tasks and only task tasks > that should leave us a 10% margin. With: > map.output.growth.factor -- the relative size of the transient data relative > to the map inputs > mapred.max.scratch.allocation -- the maximum amount of our disk we want to > allocate to tasks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
