[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-3940) Reduce often attempts in memory merge
with no work
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3940?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Chris Douglas updated HADOOP-3940:
----------------------------------
Attachment: 3940-0.patch
Simplest fix, waiting on numRequiredMapOutputs == 0.
Initializing numRequiredMapOutputs to Integer.MAX_VALUE would require a different check at the end; this should handle both.

> ReduceTask.ReduceCopier.ShuffleRamManager initializes numRequiredMapOutputs to 0, so one of the predicates in ShuffleRamManager::waitForDataToMerge, {{numPendingRequests < numRequiredMapOutputs}}, is false until the first map output is fetched and false again after the last map output is fetched. The InMemFSMergeThread thread will loop busily in this state.
