             Summary: "Text File Busy" errors launching MR tasks
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-4605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4605
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.22.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Andy Isaacson
             Fix For: 1.2.0, 0.23.3, 2.2.0-alpha


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.

.. but turned out to be another issue as well (see below)
