ok guys - i did some more debugging on this, and it seems that reading a 19K
line from the hadoop file system (using FSDataInputStream class methods)
could take upwards of 20 minutes. the child task is timing out in
LineReader.readLine() call - this basically reads the line one page (4096
bytes) at a time.
my hadoop instance for this test (with 20 min timeout) is all on one host
(one name node, one data node) on a MacBook Pro (2.6 GHz Core-2 duo, 4G RAM)
i included LOG statements to get an idea of the latencies thus - inside
LineReader.readLine():
if (length >= 0) {
str.append(buffer, startPosn, length);
LOG.info("str.length= " + str.getLength() + " just wrote from " +
startPosn + " to " + length + " bytes");
}
and this is the kind of output i get:
at the beginning:

in the end:

60166144 just wrote from 0 to 4096 bytes
notice the times are degrading in the end - this is the pattern, there is
about 1 millisecond between the 1st consecutive reads, and in the end there
is more than 50ms between 2 consecutive reads.
so it is either the nature of the file system read, or Text.append has a
potential perf issue.
is this kind of latencies expected, if i upgrade to 0.20, would i see a
difference? how can i help debug this further?
thanks,
thushara
