Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-1183: ------------------------------------- I agree with Owen that the fetcher needs some redesigning on those lines. But in any case, should anyone see reduce(s) hanging (with the fetcher continuously trying to fetch output from a failed/lost map), this patch should be applied. > MapTask completion not recorded properly at the Reducer's end > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1183 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1183 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.12.2 > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assigned To: Devaraj Das > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: 1183.new.patch, 1183.new1.patch, 1183.patch > > > A couple of reducers were continuously trying to fetch map outputs from a > lost tasktracker.
