Amar Kamat resolved MAPREDUCE-325.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> JobTracker's processHeartbeat() should not call System.currentTimeMillis()
> everytime
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-325
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-325
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Amar Kamat
> Attachments: CurrentTimeCost.java
>
>
> Consider the following
> {code:title=JobTracker.java|borderStyle=solid}
> private synchronized boolean processHeartbeat(
> TaskTrackerStatus
> trackerStatus, boolean initialContact) {
> String trackerName = trackerStatus.getTrackerName();
> trackerStatus.setLastSeen(System.currentTimeMillis());
> {code}
> Here, the call to {{System.currentTimeMillis()}} on every call to
> {{JobTracker.processHeartbeat()}} might prove costly. While
> testing/benchmarking HADOOP-2119, we recorded that the JobTracker was able to
> serve ~130 tasks/sec. So that means we might make ~130 calls to
> {{System.currentTimeMillis()}} per second. I think in these cases
> (_last-seen-status_ etc) such a high level of accuracy in terms of timestamp
> is unnecessary and hence can be avoided.
