Chris Nauroth commented on MAPREDUCE-5616:
------------------------------------------
Linking to MAPREDUCE-3811. I have a patch in progress that will look very
similar to that one.
> MR Client-AppMaster RPC max retries on socket timeout is too high.

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5616
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5616
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.2.0
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
> Assignee: Chris Nauroth
>
> MAPREDUCE-3811 introduced a separate config key for overriding the max
> retries applied to RPC connections from the MapReduce Client to the MapReduce
> Application Master. This was done to make failover from the AM to the
> MapReduce History Server faster in the event that the AM completes while the
> client thinks it's still running. However, the RPC client uses a separate
> setting for socket timeouts, and this one is not overridden. The default for
> this is 45 retries with a 20-second timeout on each retry. This means that
> in environments subject to connection timeout instead of connection refused,
> the client waits 15 minutes for failover.
