Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-2092: ---------------------------------------- We see this a lot: pipes applications continuing as orphan processes after the parent task gets killed (e.g. speculatively executed task killed because of 'Already completed TIP') . When these applications sidestep the mapred framework and communicate to DFS directly using libhdfs, then lthe load to dfs sometimes becomes so high that the job eventually fails. > Pipes C++ task does not die even if the Java tasks die > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2092 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2092 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: pipes > Reporter: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu > Assignee: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > Pipes process does not die, when the java map task dies. > Pipes process does not die even when the cluster is down. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
