[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-1171) Lots of fetch failures

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1171?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12787363#action_12787363 ] 

Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on MAPREDUCE-1171:
----------------------------------------------------

bq. In branch 0.21, MAPREDUCE-353 makes connect and read timeout configurable for a job. Moreover, Shuffle is simplified by MAPREDUCE-318. Essentially, HADOOP-3327 is no more there.

Sorry, just verified the new shuffle code, the code for HADOOP-3327 still exists.

>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: task
>    Affects Versions: 0.21.0

> Since we upgraded to hadoop-0.20.1  from hadoop0.18.3, we see lot of more map task failures because of 'Too many fetch-failures'.
> One of our jobs makes hardly any progress, because of 3000 reduces not able to get map output of 2 trailing maps (with about 80GB output each), which repeatedly are marked as failures because of reduces not being able to get their map output.
> One difference to hadoop-0.18.3 seems to be that reduce tasks report a failed mapoutput fetch even after a single try when it was a read error (cr.getError().equals(CopyOutputErrorType.READ_ERROR). I do not think this is a good idea, as trailing map tasks will be attacked by all reduces simultaneously.
