Updating a new patch to fix it. > TaskMemoryMonitorThread might shoot down tasks even if their processes > momentarily exceed the requested memory > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5883 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5883 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala > Attachments: HADOOP-5883-20.patch, HADOOP-5883-20.patch, > HADOOP-5883.patch, HADOOP-5883.patch, HADOOP-5883.patch > > > Currently the TaskMemoryMonitorThread kills tasks as soon as it detects they > are consuming more memory than the max value specified. There are valid cases > (see HADOOP-5059) where if a program is executed from the task, it might > momentarily occupy twice the amount of memory for a short time. Ideally the > monitoring thread should handle this case. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
