Steve Loughran commented on MAPREDUCE-7282:
-------------------------------------------

Proposed

* we change the default
* documents to say dangerous because ...
* jobs run with v2 start with a warn "deprecated will be removed"

That's for all shipping 3.x releases. Then for trunk we downgrade to v1, always 
(or better, cut all the co-recursive complexity of the committer)

> MR v2 commit algorithm is dangerous, should be deprecated and not the default

>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: mrv2
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.0, 3.2.1, 3.1.3, 3.3.1
>            Reporter: Steve Loughran
>            Priority: Major
>
> The v2 MR commit algorithm moves files from the task attempt dir into the 
> dest dir on task commit -one by one
> It is therefore not atomic
> # if a task commit fails partway through and another task attempt commits 
> -unless exactly the same filenames are used, output of the first attempt may 
> be included in the final result
> # if a worker partitions partway through task commit, and then continues 
> after another attempt has committed, it may partially overwrite the output 
> -even when the filenames are the same
> Both MR and spark assume that task commits are atomic. Either they need to 
> consider that this is not the case, we add a way to probe for a committer 
> supporting atomic task commit, and the engines both add handling for task 
> commit failures (probably fail job)
> Better: we remove this as the default, maybe also warn when it is being used
