Hi All, I have seen this exception many times in my production environment for long running batch job. Is there some stigmatization of all root causes of this exception? Below is my analysis:
1. This happens when executor try to fetch MapStatus of some shuffle. 2. Each executor maintains a local cache of all map statuses. When can't find in local cache, executor will try to fetch latest from driver which acting as MapOutputTrackerMaster. 3. Driver's map statuses only be clear when epoch got updated. 4. Epoch got updated when new executor got restarted. This might be caused by executor lost. I have double confirmed this if one container(executor) is kill by Yarn for exceeding memory limits, then this exception will happen. So I have 3 questions: 1. Is my analysis correct? 2. Is there some other clues or causes could result in this exception? 3. How to fix this exception? Thanks, Warren
