Chris Douglas commented on MAPREDUCE-1306: ------------------------------------------ It would help if the SimulatedTaskTracker RNG were seeded deterministically from a configurable source. If the STT cstr took a {{seed}} param, a single source of randomness could seed each STT and allow for an exact replay. Otherwise +1 > [MUMAK] Randomize the arrival of heartbeat responses > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1306 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1306 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/mumak > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Tamas Sarlos > Assignee: Tamas Sarlos > Fix For: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-1306-20100108.patch > > > We propose to make the following changes to mumak, MAPREDUCE-728 > - make the timing of heartbeat responses more realistic by adding an option > to randomly perturb them > - randomize the startup time of task trackers in a fixed interval > - remove 2 magic constants from SimulatorEngine and make sure that the first > job is submitted only after the entire cluster is up and running -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
