Carlo Curino commented on YARN-59: ---------------------------------- I believe we are hitting this (or something similar) in the 2.3 branch. Has it been resolved somewhere? > "Text File Busy" errors launching MR tasks > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: YARN-59 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-59 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha, 0.23.5 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Andy Isaacson > > Some very small percentage of tasks fail with a "Text file busy" error. > The following was the original diagnosis: > {quote} > Our use of PrintWriter in TaskController.writeCommand is unsafe, since that > class swallows all IO exceptions. We're not currently checking for errors, > which I'm seeing result in occasional task failures with the message "Text > file busy" - assumedly because the close() call is failing silently for some > reason. > {quote} > .. but turned out to be another issue as well (see below) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
