thousands of TimerThreads created by metrics API
------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-886
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-886
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: metrics
Affects Versions: 0.10.1
Reporter: Nigel Daley
When running the smallJobsBenchmark with 180 maps and hadoop metrics logging to
a file
(ie hadoop-metrics.properties file contains
dfs.class=org.apache.hadoop.metrics.file.FileContext
mapred.class=org.apache.hadoop.metrics.file.FileContext)
then I get this error:
org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException:

Using jconsole, I see that 2000+ of these threads were created:

The only use of the java.util.Timer API is in
org.apache.hadoop.metrics.spi.AbstractMetricsContext.
