[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-2651) Race condition in Linux Task Controller for job log directory creation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2651?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13060907#comment-13060907 ] 

Bharath Mundlapudi commented on MAPREDUCE-2651:
-----------------------------------------------

There is a rare race condition in linux task controller when concurrent task processes tries to create job log directory at the same time. Since we change the permissions for a brief moment, at this time, if another task tries to create a directory then the later task will fail with the error like,
{code}
"Directory %s owned by wrong user or group. "
"Expected %d:%d and found %d:%d.\n",
{code}
