Matt Foley commented on MAPREDUCE-2374: --------------------------------------- Marc, being in branch-1, it will be in 1.2.0 when we make that release in December. Andy, please go ahead and commit it to branch-1.1 also, so it will be in 1.1.2 when that patch release is made. Marc, you can request it be committed to branch-1.0 also, but at this time there are no plans to produce a 1.0.5 release. Are you able to move to 1.1.1 instead? 1.1.1 passed vote yesterday, and I will have it published and announced in the next day or two. > "Text File Busy" errors launching MR tasks > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2374 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2374 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Andy Isaacson > Fix For: 0.23.3, 2.0.2-alpha > > Attachments: failed_taskjvmsh.strace, mapreduce-2374-2.txt, > mapreduce-2374-branch-1.patch, mapreduce-2374-on-20sec.txt, > mapreduce-2374.txt, mapreduce-2374.txt, mapreduce-2374.txt, > successfull_taskjvmsh.strace > > > Some very small percentage of tasks fail with a "Text file busy" error. > The following was the original diagnosis: > {quote} > Our use of PrintWriter in TaskController.writeCommand is unsafe, since that > class swallows all IO exceptions. We're not currently checking for errors, > which I'm seeing result in occasional task failures with the message "Text > file busy" - assumedly because the close() call is failing silently for some > reason. > {quote} > .. but turned out to be another issue as well (see below) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
