[jira] [Commented] (HAMA-387) Advanced Barrier Synchronization

["ChiaHung Lin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-387?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13103311#comment-13103311 ] 

ChiaHung Lin commented on HAMA-387:
-----------------------------------

I see there are two issues here. 

First, sync() may hang - from the information I received, the problem seemingly comes from the superstep as we discussed last time. Have we tested this already? Or any more detail information (e.g steps to reproduce this problem) so others can help test if adding superstep would fix the problem.

Second, long running process - it seems to me this issue is more related to performance issue (not showstopper.) It probably can be improved by making use of message tree[1] or scheduling tasks with roughly equal computation load. 

Personally I think the first problem is more important and we should fix it first.

> I think, the lock file must include:
>  * the job ID
>  * the task ID of the lock file owner
>  * the current superstep count
> to check ownership and validation.
> Currently they are named by hostname, but multi-tasks can be run per one groomserver in the future.
