> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 1.0.3

> The sortAndSpill() method in MapTask.java has an error in estimating the length of the output file.
> The "long size" should be "(bufvoid - bufstart) + bufend" not "(bufvoid - bufend) + bufstart" when "bufend < bufstart".
> Here is the original code in MapTask.java.
> private void sortAndSpill() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException,
> InterruptedException {
> //approximate the length of the output file to be the length of the
> //buffer + header lengths for the partitions
> long size = (bufend >= bufstart
> ? bufend - bufstart
> : (bufvoid - bufend) + bufstart) +
> partitions * APPROX_HEADER_LENGTH;
> FSDataOutputStream out = null;
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> I had a test on "TeraSort". A snippet from mapper's log is as follows:
> MapTask: Spilling map output: record full = true
> MapTask: bufstart = 157286200; bufend = 10485460; bufvoid = 199229440
> MapTask: kvstart = 262142; kvend = 131069; length = 655360
> MapTask: Finished spill 3
> In this occasioin, Spill Bytes should be (199229440 - 157286200) + 10485460 = 52428700 (52 MB) because the number of spilled records is 524287 and each record costs 100B.
