Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-3252: ------------------------------------------ +1 > MR2: Map tasks rewrite data once even if output fits in sort buffer > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3252 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3252 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2, task > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Critical > Attachments: mr-3252.txt > > > I found that, even if the output of a map task fits entirely in its sort > buffer, it was rewriting the output entirely rather than just renaming the > first spill into place. This is due to RawLocalFileSystem.rename() falling > back to a copy if renameTo() fails. The first rename attempt was failing > because no one has called mkdir for the output directory yet. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
