Harsh J created MAPREDUCE-5288: ---------------------------------- Summary: ResourceEstimator#getEstimatedTotalMapOutputSize suffers from divide by zero issues Key: MAPREDUCE-5288 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5288 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: mrv1 Affects Versions: 1.2.0 Reporter: Harsh J
The computation in the above mentioned class-method is below: {code} long estimate = Math.round(((double)inputSize * completedMapsOutputSize * 2.0)/completedMapsInputSize); {code} Given http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html#round(double), its possible that the returned estimate could be Long.MAX_VALUE if completedMapsInputSize is determined to be zero. This can be proven with a simple code snippet: {code} class Foo { public static void main(String... args) { long inputSize = 600L + 2; long estimate = Math.round(((double)inputSize * 1L * 2.0)/0L); System.out.println(estimate); } } {code} The above conveniently prints out: {{9223372036854775807}}, which is Long.MAX_VALUE (or 8 Exbibytes per MapReduce). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
