Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-16:
------------------------------------

Bryan: I agree, this looks like a serious bug.  The TaskTracker should minimize 
the calls it makes to the NameNode.  Ideally it should only make a single call 
per job on each input split.

> RPC call times out while indexing map task is computing splits

> Doug Cutting's response:
> The bug here is that the RPC call times out while the map task is computing 
> splits.  The fix is that the job tracker should not compute splits until 
> after it has returned from the submitJob RPC.  Please submit a bug in Jira to 
> help remind us to fix this.
