Matei Zaharia commented on MAPREDUCE-1436: ------------------------------------------ Okay, in that case, I think everything is fine. I'm going to mark this JIRA as invalid. However, anyone who tries to backport the trunk fair scheduler to 0.20 might run into it, so hopefully they'll find this result. I'm assuming you guys included MAPREDUCE-870 or something similar in CDH? > Deadlock in preemption code in fair scheduler > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1436 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1436 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib/fair-share > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Matei Zaharia > Assignee: Matei Zaharia > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: deadlock.png, mapreduce-1436-v2.patch, > mapreduce-1436.patch > > > In testing the fair scheduler with preemption, I found a deadlock between > updatePreemptionVariables and some code in the JobTracker. This was found > while testing a backport of the fair scheduler to Hadoop 0.20, but it looks > like it could also happen in trunk and 0.21.
