[jira] [Updated] (MAPREDUCE-4302) NM goes down if error encountered
during log aggregation
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4302?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Daryn Sharp updated MAPREDUCE-4302:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: MAPREDUCE-4302.patch
Wrap log aggregation init with a try block. The log init is executed just before localization starts instead of in parallel. Log init sends back an app finish event on failure, or a log init success after which localization begins.
Log init is serialized because it only makes a few directories and spins off a thread. If log init fails then the job itself is likely to fail, so a log init failure reports a diagnostic of the exception back to the AM. Otherwise if/when the job fails there will be no logs to debug...

> When a container launch request is sent to the NM, if _any_ exception occurs during the init of log aggregation then the NM goes down. The problem can be induced by situations including, but certainly not limited to: transient rpc connection issues, missing tokens, expired tokens, permissions, full/quota exceeded dfs, etc. The problem may occur with and without security enabled.
> The ramification is an entire cluster can be rather easily brought down either maliciously, accidentally, or via a submission bug.
