Maysam Yabandeh updated MAPREDUCE-5267:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: MAPREDUCE-5267.patch
The attached patch puts two try/catch clause to allow the search in the clean
method to continue despite the probable IO failures. I am working on a proper
unit test.
> History server should be more robust when cleaning old jobs

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5267
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5267
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jobhistoryserver
> Affects Versions: 0.23.7, 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Jason Lowe
> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5267.patch
>
>
> Ran across a situation where an admin user had accidentally created a
> directory in one of the date directories under /mapred/history/done/ that was
> not readable by the historyserver user. That effectively prevented the
> history server from cleaning any jobs from that date forward, as it hit an
> IOException trying to scan the directory and that aborted the entire clean
> process.
> The history server should localize IOException handling to the directory/file
> being processed and move on to the next entry in the list rather than
> aborting the entire cleaning process.
