[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-4620) Streaming mapper never completes if the mapper does not write to stdout

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4620?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ravi Gummadi updated HADOOP-4620:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: solves_mapper_4620.patch

The attached patch solves the hanging issue on map side only . It doesn't solve the problem of reducer hanging when 0 sized input is given and reducer generates nonzero sized output.

> A mapper of a streaming job has empty input data and thus it produces no output.
