Siqi Li commented on MAPREDUCE-4815:
------------------------------------
Agreed with shorten the documentation to reduce the unnecessary confusion.
For algorithm changing on the fly, from what I understand, the use-case of
algorithm version changes would be a cluster originally have algorithm 1 set in
mapred-site.xml that want to use algorithm 2 for all jobs. As a result, people
bump up the version to 2 in mapred-site.xml and restart the worker nodes.
However, if an AM is running at that point , it will get restarted and the new
attempt would use algorithm 2 to recover task result.
> FileOutputCommitter.commitJob can be very slow for jobs with many output files

> If a job generates many files to commit then the commitJob method call at the
> end of the job can take minutes. This is a performance regression from 1.x,
> as 1.x had the tasks commit directly to the final output directory as they
> were completing and commitJob had very little to do. The commit work was
> processed in parallel and overlapped the processing of outstanding tasks. In
> 0.23/2.x, the commit is single-threaded and waits until all tasks have
> completed before commencing.
