Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on MAPREDUCE-3274: ---------------------------------------------------- Yes, the current code doesn't do what we want. Like I said above, if the task is not registered, we should send a DIE via the flag in JvmTask constructor. But for doing that, you need to separate registering from TaskAttemptListenerImpl from TaskHeartBeatHandler as their scopes are different. TaskAttemptListenerImpl needs to be registered even before the container started whereas the later needs registration only after the container has started. > Race condition in MR App Master Preemtion can cause a dead lock > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3274 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3274 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: applicationmaster, mrv2 > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 0.24.0 > Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans > Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.23.0, 0.24.0 > > > There appears to be a race condition in the MR App Master in relation to > preempting reducers to let a mapper run. In the particular case that I have > been debugging a reducer was selected for preemption that did not have a > container assigned to it yet. When the container became available that reduce > started running and the previous TA_KILL event appears to have been ignored. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
