Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-846: -------------------------------------- The status thread is not cleaned up if the merge throws an exception. I think it should probably look like: try { runner.run(...); ... merge code ... } finally { in.close(); collector.close(); sortProgress.interrupt(); } so that if run() throws, the merge code won't run. But if the merge code throws then the cleanup is still done. > Progress report is not sent during the intermediate sorts in the map phase > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-846 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-846 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assigned To: Devaraj Das > Attachments: 846-correct.patch, 846.patch > > > Have seen tasks getting lost at the TaskTracker's end due to MapTask's > progress not getting reported for a long time (the configured timeout).
