Vinod K V commented on HADOOP-4236: ----------------------------------- JobInProgess.kill() should be made re-entrant. We need this as some schedulers may wish to kill jobs that violate certain resource requirements and we don't want to waste cycles on terminating a job that is already killed. Additionally, we will somehow need to inform job-clients which try to terminate jobs for which a kill has already been issued. Currently, on re-kill attempts, it just keeps saying "job is killed successfully". > JobTracker.killJob() fails to kill a job if the job is not yet initialized > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4236 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4236 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Assignee: Sharad Agarwal > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > Attachments: 4236_v1.patch > > > HADOOP-3864 made the following changes to {{JobTracker.killJob()}} > {code} > public synchronized void killJob(JobID jobid) { > JobInProgress job = jobs.get(jobid); > - job.kill(); > + if (job.inited()) { > + job.kill(); > + } > } > {code} > This is a bug as a job will not get killed if its not yet initialized. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
