Here are the runtimes ||run-no||time|| |1|25min 58sec| |2|26min 14sec| |3|26min 19sec| |4|25min 53sec| Note that the total memory used after running 9 sleep jobs (100,000 maps with 1 sec wait) back to back (few were killed) was ~384MB. Note that the cluster is configured to keep 0 jobs in memory (using the [patch|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12395497/HADOOP-4766-v1.patch]) and 5 min tracker-expiry-interval. This experiment was to prove that eventually the job leaves the JobTracker's memory. was (Author: amar_kamat): I tried running 5 sleep jobs with 100000 maps on 200 nodes back to back.

Look like it was due to GC. > I believe the release 0.18/0.19 have the similar behavior. > I believe 0.18 and 0.18 also have the similar behavior. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
