Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on MAPREDUCE-1568:
----------------------------------------------------
I agree that the current change is simple and safe, but I don't see any value
getting added by the patch. The file deletion is already asynchronous in a
sense, after MAPREDUCE-1302, which uses MRAsyncDiskService for deletion. Now,
the new thread is added just for iterating over the deleteSet.
I think this jira should remove the deletion logic from getLocalCache so that
Task will just localize files it needs and the deletion is taken care by
TrackerDIstributedCacheManager. Also, with security coming in, deletion of the
distributed cache should not be in Task's space.
> TrackerDistributedCacheManager should do deleteLocalPath asynchronously

> TrackerDistributedCacheManager.deleteCache() has been improved:
> MAPREDUCE-1302 makes TrackerDistributedCacheManager rename the caches in the
> main thread and then delete them in the background
> MAPREDUCE-1098 avoids global locking while do the renaming (renaming lots of
> directories can also takes a long time)
> But the deleteLocalCache is still in the main thread of TaskRunner.run(). So
> it will still slow down the task which triggers the deletion (originally this
> will blocks all tasks, but it is fixed by MAPREDUCE-1098). Other tasks do not
> wait for the deletion. The task which triggers the deletion should not wait
> for this either. TrackerDistributedCacheManager should do deleteLocalPath()
> asynchronously.
