Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-1983:
----------------------------------------
+1
One could argue, that the status message should be flushed as well such that
users see updated c++ application status in JobTracker GUI as soon as possible.
Or even better, move
uplink->progress(progressFloat);
after
uplink->status(status)
> jobs using pipes interface with tasks not using java output format have a
> good chance of not updating progress and timing out

> Key: HADOOP-1983
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1983
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: pipes
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Christian Kunz
> Assignee: Owen O'Malley
> Fix For: 0.15.0

> Attachments: pipe-flush.patch

>
> When using C++-pipes interface, mappers/reducers not emitting any key-values
> pairs, but running longer than 'mapred.task.timeout' might timeout even when
> they send periodical status updates upstream.
> The cause of the problem is that all upstream messages are buffered. Progress
> and status updates should be flushed immediately.
