BELUGA BEHR commented on MAPREDUCE-5767:
----------------------------------------
We are also seeing this problem on CDH 5.10.1. This same issue was also
reported as [AVRO-1786]
> Data corruption when single value exceeds map buffer size (io.sort.mb)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-5767
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5767
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mrv1
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Reporter: Ben Roling
>
> There is an issue in org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask in 0.20 that can cause
> data corruption when the size of a single value produced by the mapper
> exceeds the size of the map output buffer (roughly io.sort.mb).
> I experienced this issue in CDH4.2.1, but am logging the issue here for
> greater visibility in case anyone else might run across the issue.
> The issue does not exist in 0.21 and beyond due to the implementation of
> MAPREDUCE-64. That JIRA significantly changes the way the map output
> buffering is done and it looks like the issue has been resolved by those
> changes.
> I expect this bug will likely be closed / won't fix due to the fact that 0.20
> is obsolete. As stated previously, I am just logging this issue for
> visibility in case anyone else is still running something based on 0.20 and
> encounters the same problem.
> In my situation the issue manifested as an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in
> the reduce phase when deserializing a key -- causing the job to fail.
> However, I think the problem could manifest in a more dangerous fashion where
> the affected job succeeds, but produces corrupt output. The stack trace I
> saw was:

> The problem appears to me to be in
> org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.MapOutputBuffer.Buffer.write(byte[], int,
> int). The sequence of events that leads up to the issue is:
> * some complete records (cumulative size less than total buffer size) written
> to buffer
> * large (over io.sort.mb) record starts writing
> * [soft buffer limit
> exceeded|https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/release-0.20.1/src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/MapTask.java#L1030]
> - spill starts
> * write of large record continues
> * buffer becomes
> [full|https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/release-0.20.1/src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/MapTask.java#L1012]
> *
> [wrap|https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/release-0.20.1/src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/MapTask.java#L1013]
> evaluates to true, suggesting the buffer can be safely wrapped
> * writing the large record continues until a write occurs such that bufindex
> + len == bufstart exactly. When this happens
> [buffull|https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/release-0.20.1/src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/MapTask.java#L1018]
> evaluates to false, so the data gets written to the buffer without event
> * writing of the large value continues with another call to write(), starting
> the corruption of the buffer. Buffer full can no longer be detected by the
> [buffull
> logic|https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/release-0.20.1/src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/MapTask.java#L1012]
> that is used when bufindex >= bufstart
> The key to this problem occurring is a write where bufindex + len equals
> bufstart exactly.
> I have titled the issue as having to do with writing large records (over
> io.sort.mb), but really I think the issue *could* occur on smaller records if
> the serializer generated a write of exactly the right size. For example, if
> the buffer is getting close to full, but hasn't exceeded the buffer soft
> limit and then a collect() on a new value is called that triggers a write()
> such that bufindex + len == bufstart. The size of the write would have to be
> relatively large -- greater than the free space offered by the soft limit
> (20% of the buffer by default), making the issue occurring that way pretty
> unlikely.
