Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-5338:
------------------------------------

Looks like the problem lies with the _SYNC_ information passed by the 
job-tracker to the task-tracker. Upon restart, the job-tracker passes the size 
of task completion events that the jobtracker has rebuilt. Events at 
job-tracker's comprises of all the tasks (map/reduce/cleanup/setup) while the 
one at the tracker comprises of just the map tasks. Will upload a patch soon.

> Reduce tasks are stuck waiting for map outputs when none are in progress

> When JT is restarted several times, a situation is encountered when the 
> reduce tasks are stuck forever waiting for map outputs. However 100%map is 
> complete and none of the map tasks are in progress. The reduce tasks wait 
> infinitely.
