> Key: MAPREDUCE-7080
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-7080
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mrv2
> Affects Versions: 2.7.5
> Reporter: Zhizhen Hou
> Priority: Major
>
> DefaultSpeculator speculates a task one time.
> By default, the number of speculators is max(max(10, 0.01 * tasks.size), 0.1
> * running tasks)
> I set mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps = 1 to start reduce after
> all the map tasks are finished.
> The cluster has 1000 vcores, and the Job has 5000 reduce jobs.
> At first, 1000 reduces tasks can run simultaneously, number of speculators
> can speculator at most is 0.1 * 1000 = 100 tasks. Reduce tasks with less data
> can over shortly, and speculator will speculator a task per second by
> default. The task be speculated execution may be because the more data to be
> processed. It will speculator 100 tasks within 100 seconds.
> When 4900 reduces is over, If a reduce is executed with a lot of data be
> processed and is put on a slow machine. The speculate opportunity is running
> out, it will not be speculated. It can increase the execution time of job
> significantly.
> In short, it may waste the speculate opportunity at first only because the
> execution time of reduce with less data to be processed as average time. At
> end of job, there is no speculate opportunity available, especially last
> several running tasks, judged the number of the running tasks .
>
> In my opinion, the number of tasks be speculated can be judged by square of
> finished task percent. Take an example, if ninety percent of the task is
> finished, only 0.9*0.9 = 0.81 speculate opportunity can be used. It will
> leave enough opportunity for latter tasks.
