----------------------------------------
Summary: Provide way to limit MRJob's stdout/stderr size
Key: YARN-5619
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-5619
Project: Hadoop YARN
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: log-aggregation, nodemanager
Affects Versions: 2.7.0
Reporter: Aleksandr Balitsky
Priority: Minor
We can run job with huge amount of stdout/stderr and causing undesired
consequence. There is already a Jira which is been open for while now:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2231
The possible solution is to redirect Stdout's and Stderr's output to log4j in
YarnChild.java main method via commands:
System.setErr( new PrintStream( new LoggingOutputStream( <Log4j logger>,
Level.ERROR ), true));
System.setOut( new PrintStream( new LoggingOutputStream( <Log4j logger>,
Level.INFO ), true));
In this case System.out and System.err will be redirected to log4j logger with
appropriate appender that will direct output to stderr or stdout files with
needed size limitation.
Advantages of such solution:
- it allows us to restrict file sizes during job execution.
Disadvantages:
- It will work only for MRs jobs.
- logs are stored in memory and are flushed on disk only after job's finishing
(syslog works the same way) - we can loose logs if container will be killed or
failed.
Is it appropriate solution for solving this problem, or is there something
better?
