                 Key: HADOOP-6109
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6109
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: util
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
         Environment: Linux 2.6 kernel, java 1.6 AMD Dual-Core Opteron 2.6GHz 
with 1M L1/L2 cache 1.8G RAM
            Reporter: thushara wijeratna


problem:
=======
hadoop was timing out on a simple pass-through job (with the default 10 min 
timeout)

cause:
=====
i hunted this down to how Text lines are being processed inside 
org.apache.hadoop.util.LineReader.
i have a fix, a task that took more than 20 minutes and still failed to 
complete, completes with this fix in under 30 s.
i attach the patch (for trunk)

the problem traces:
================

hadoop version: 0.19.0
userlogs on slave node:

2009-05-29 13:57:33,551 WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner: Parent died.  
Exiting attempt_200905281652_0013_m_000006_1
[r...@domu-12-31-38-01-7c-92 attempt_200905281652_0013_m_000006_1]#

tellingly, the last input line processed right before this WARN is 19K. (i log 
the full input line in the map function for debugging)

output on map-reduce task:

seconds. Killing!
