Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-5784: ------------------------------------------------- Current heartbeat interval is set to {{clusterSize / 100}}, and minimum interval is capped at 3seconds. It assumes that JT can process 100 heartbeats in a second. See http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1900?focusedCommentId=12542530&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12542530 Now, if we make number of heartbeats that should arrive in a second configurable (with default value as 100) , heartbeat interval can be calculated as {code} heartbeatInterval = max((clusterSize / #heartbeats in a second), HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_MIN) ; {code} Thoughts? > The length of the heartbeat cycle should be configurable. > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5784 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5784 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > > Currently, the hearbeat cycle is set to (# nodes / 100) in seconds. This can > be too long for clusters that need to run low latency jobs. We should make > the number of heartbeats that should arrive a second configurable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
