failures? Tx.
> Improve the log flushing for tasks when mapred.userlog.limit.kb is set
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: YARN-1130
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1130
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: nodemanager
> Affects Versions: 2.0.5-alpha
> Reporter: Paul Han
> Assignee: Paul Han
> Fix For: 2.0.5-alpha

> When userlog limit is set with something like this:
> {code}
> <property>
> <name>mapred.userlog.limit.kb</name>
> <value>2048</value>
> <description>The maximum size of user-logs of each task in KB. 0 disables the
> cap.
> </description>
> </property>
> {code}
> the log entry will be truncated randomly for the jobs.
> The log size is left between 1.2MB to 1.6MB.
> Since the log is already limited, avoid the log truncation is crucial for
> user.
> The other issue with the current
> impl(org.apache.hadoop.yarn.ContainerLogAppender) is that log entries will
> not flush to file until the container shutdown and logmanager close all
> appenders. If user likes to see the log during task execution, it doesn't
> support it.
> Will propose a patch to add a flush mechanism and also flush the log when
> task is done.
