Hemanth Yamijala commented on MAPREDUCE-1598: --------------------------------------------- Amar, I don't find this key or the newly mapped key - mapreduce.job.userhistorylocation - used anywhere in code in trunk. Therefore, I think this bug does not exist for trunk at least ? But we might need fixes for earlier versions. > Wrongly configured 'hadoop.job.history.user.location' can cause jobs to be > pinned in JobTracker's memory forever > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1598 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1598 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jobtracker > Affects Versions: 0.21.0 > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Priority: Blocker > > Wrongly configured 'hadoop.job.history.user.location' can disable > job-history. Jobs retires when JobHistory notifies the JobTracker after > moving the history file to the done folder (i.e > mapreduce.jobtracker.jobhistory.completed.location). If the JobHistory gets > disabled, JobTracker would not receive any notification and thus jobs will be > pinned in JobTracker's memory forever. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
