Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-1316: ------------------------------------------ I agree with Hemanth, I'd suggest a minor variation of his idea: I'd add a JobInProgress.getTasks(TaskType type) in-lieu of JobInProgress.get{Map|Reduce|Setup|Cleanup} etc. and call it so: {noformat} for (TaskType type : TaskType.values()) { for (TaskInProgress tip : job.getTasks(type)) { for (TaskAttemptID taskAttemptId : tip.getAllTaskAttemptIds()) { removeTaskEntry(taskAttemptId); } } } {noformat} > JobTracker holds stale references to retired jobs via unreported tasks > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1316 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1316 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jobtracker > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: mapreduce-1316-v1.11.patch, > mapreduce-1316-v1.13-branch20-yahoo.patch, mapreduce-1316-v1.7.patch > > > JobTracker fails to remove _unreported_ tasks' mapping from _taskToTIPMap_ if > the job finishes and retires. _Unreported tasks_ refers to tasks that were > scheduled but the tasktracker did not report back with the task status. In > such cases a stale reference is held to TaskInProgress (and thus > JobInProgress) long after the job is gone leading to memory leak. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
