-------------------------------------
Vivek, I think it would be useful to open a new issue with the thoughts you put
as comment on this issue (and maybe the other related issues could also be
clubbed into this one issue; there are 2-3 related issues). I think this
particular issue is going to be closed with the quick fix that Arun is going to
submit and hence no point discussing new ideas on this page.

> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Owen O'Malley

>
> Currently the map task runner creates a thread that calls progress every
> second to keep the system from killing the map if the sort takes too long.
> This is the wrong approach, because it will cause stuck tasks to not be
> killed. The right solution is to have the sort call progress as it actually
> makes progress. This is part of what is going on in HADOOP-1374. A map gets
> stuck at 100% progress, but not done.
