[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-2341) Map and Reduce task JVMs are hanging infinitely

["Bhallamudi Venkata Siva Kamesh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2341?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12997324#comment-12997324 ] 

Bhallamudi Venkata Siva Kamesh commented on MAPREDUCE-2341:
-----------------------------------------------------------

In the code segment(void org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(String[] args) throws Throwable), this case has been handled as shown below

 {code:title=Child.java|borderStyle=solid}
   while(true) {
    ...................................................
    numTasksToExecute = job.getNumTasksToExecutePerJvm();
    assert(numTasksToExecute != 0);
    ...................................................
   }
 {code} 



  As assertions have not been enabled during runtime, the assertion statement here failed to assert and loop goes infinete.
  So I feel, we need to enable assertions while running HDFS/Mapreduce programs.

> Description:
>  When launching Mapreduce application, the property *mapred.job.reuse.jvm.num.tasks* has been set to *0*, as a result the task JVM(MAP or Reduce JVM) is hanging indefinitely and finally being killed by Tasktracker.
> Steps to Reproduce
> ------------------
> 1) Set the *mapred.job.reuse.jvm.num.tasks* property in mapred-site.xml to 0
> 2) Execute the wordcount example, child JVM is hanging indefinitely and finally killed by Tasktracker
