Chris K Wensel updated HADOOP-4202: ----------------------------------- Attachment: hadoop-4202.patch Have updated the daemon threads to check the 'running' state, and if not running, will silently exit. to do this, a couple threads are now calling poll() instead of take(), with a timeout of 10 seconds. this value is arbitrary. I haven't added a test case to guaranteed the threads are gone as this patch is so MiniMRCluster behaves a little better. and it looks like lifecycle interfaces will be added in a future patch. please advise otherwise. > TaskTracker never stops cleanup threads, MiniMRCluster becomes unstable > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4202 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4202 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: test > Affects Versions: 0.18.0 > Reporter: Chris K Wensel > Assignee: Chris K Wensel > Attachments: hadoop-4202.patch > > > If many unit tests start/stop unique MiniMRCluster instances, over time the > number of threads in the test vm grow to large causing tests to hang and/or > slow down. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
