[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-2489) Jobsplits with random hostnames
can make the queue unusable
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2489?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13073838#comment-13073838 ]
Mahadev konar commented on MAPREDUCE-2489:
------------------------------------------
Jeffrey,
One minor nit,
The method:
{code}
static void verifyHostnames(String[] names) throws UnknownHostException {
{code}
does not seem appropriate for JobInProgress class. It needs to be moved out to some helper class. NetUtils seems more appropriate for this helper method. What do you think?

> We saw an issue where a custom InputSplit was returning invalid hostnames for the splits that were then causing the JobTracker to attempt to excessively resolve host names. This caused a major slowdown for the JobTracker. We should prevent invalid InputSplit hostnames from affecting everyone else.
> I propose we implement some verification for the hostnames to try to ensure that we only do DNS lookups on valid hostnames (and fail otherwise). We could also fail the job after a certain number of failures in the resolve.
