Tahir Hashmi updated HADOOP-1152:
---------------------------------
Attachment: 1152.patch
Looked at this with Devaraj yesterday and our theory about why this fails is
that in MapTask.MapOutputCopier.copyOutput(), there's a call to rename a
temporary file to the actual .out file. After the rename, another call is made
to get the length of the actual file (which is same as that of the temporary
file, obviously). Between these calls, if a MergeThread flushes the file to
.out file to disk and deletes it, the call to getLength() will fail.
Sameer's suggestion was to simply invoke getLength() on the temporary file
before the rename and discard the value in case the rename fails. After the
file is renamed, it should be assumed that the local code no longer owns it.
1152.patch has these changes incorporated.
