healthy tasks dying because tasktracker unresponsive while trying to kill
errant tasks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2393
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2393
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: mapred
Affects Versions: 0.13.1
Environment: 0.13.1, quad-code x86-64, FC-linux. -xmx2048
ipc.client.timeout = 10000
Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
we have some bad jobs where the reduces are getting stalled (for unknown
reason). The task tracker kills these processes from time to time.
Everytime one of these events happens - other (healthy) map tasks in the same
node are also killed. Looking at the logs and code up to 0.14.3 - it seems like
the child tasks pings to the task tracker are timed out and the child task
self-terminates.
tasktracker log:
// notice the good 10+ second gap in logs on otherwise busy node:

something was going on at this time which caused to the tasktracker to
essentially stall. all the pings are discarded. after stack trace dump:

}

catch (Throwable t) {
LOG.info("Communication exception: " +
StringUtils.stringifyException(t));
remainingRetries -=1;
if (remainingRetries == 0) {
ReflectionUtils.logThreadInfo(LOG, "Communication exception",
0);
LOG.warn("Last retry, killing "+taskId);
System.exit(65);
exit code is 65 as reported by task tracker.
i don't see an option to turn off stack trace dump (which could be a likely
cause) - and i would hate to bump up timeout because of this. Crap.
