My stack trace matches other traces where fork() has blown up. > TaskTracker hangs due to fork() being MT-unsafe > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1869 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1869 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tasktracker > Affects Versions: 0.20.2 > Environment: Solaris 10 Update 7 > Java 1.6.0_14 > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Priority: Critical > Attachments: jstack.txt, pstack.txt > > > A TaskTracker process on our grid appears to be locked up and not sending > heartbeats to the namenode.
