RPC port from BasicRPCCommunications should be only a starting port, and retried
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GIRAPH-128
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-128
Project: Giraph
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.1.0
Reporter: Avery Ching
Assignee: Avery Ching
Currently Giraph uses a basic port + the task partition to get the RPC port.
This doesn't work well for when there are multiple Giraph jobs running
simultaneously in the same Hadoop cluster (port conflict). At the same time,
it is nice to use this simple algorithm because it makes it very easy to debug
problems (you can find the troublesome mapper from the RPC port name). I will
be proposing a simple scheme to retry with another port. I will round the
total number of mappers up to the nearest power of 10 (let's that that number
Z). Then I will increment the port number by Z, retrying up to 20 tries. If
you have enough ports, this scheme would guarantee that up to 20 mappers / node
would be supported. It should be sufficient for most clusters. At the same
time, we still maintain the easy debugging method since you it's still easy to
figure out the mapper partition from the port (port % Z = map partition).
