Scott Chen commented on MAPREDUCE-1568: --------------------------------------- Sorry for the stupid question. I think I figure it out. It is our choice to pick the lock for a field. In this case we pick the global lock instead of the individual lock. I will add comments on each field in CacheStatus to indicate which fields are guarded by cachedArchieves and which are guarded by this. And the rest I will make them immutable. > TrackerDistributedCacheManager should clean up cache in a background thread > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1568 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1568 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Scott Chen > Assignee: Scott Chen > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-1568-v2.1.txt, MAPREDUCE-1568-v2.txt, > MAPREDUCE-1568.txt > > > Right now the TrackerDistributedCacheManager do the clean up with the > following code path: > {code} > TaskRunner.run() -> > TrackerDistributedCacheManager.setup() -> > TrackerDistributedCacheManager.getLocalCache() -> > TrackerDistributedCacheManager.deleteCache() > {code} > The deletion of the cache files can take a long time and it should not be > done by a task.
