Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-1433: --------------------------------- Status: Open (was: Patch Available) This looks reasonable to me too. Unfortunately it no longer passes unit tests, e.g., TestMiniMRLocalFS failing with: {code} java.io.IOException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker$2.compare(JobTracker.java:1477) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker$2.compare(JobTracker.java:1476) at java.util.Arrays.mergeSort(Arrays.java:1284) at java.util.Arrays.sort(Arrays.java:1223) at java.util.Collections.sort(Collections.java:159) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.resortPriority(JobTracker.java:1490) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.submitJob(JobTracker.java:1462) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Server.call(RPC.java:340) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler.run(Server.java:566) {code} > Add job priority > ---------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1433 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1433 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Johan Oskarsson > Assignee: Johan Oskarsson > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: jobpriorityv2.patch > > > As more and more developers start using our cluster we run into problems > where big low priority jobs block smaller high priority ones. > A simple way of specifying the job priority in the JobConf and perhaps even > change it during runtime via the jobtracker web ui would help a lot. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
