[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-912) TestMiniMRWithDFS fails sporadically
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-912?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12466389 ]
Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-912:
--------------------------------------
I suspect this is more of a drawback of the TestMiniMRWithDFS than the MR-framework itself...
MiniMrCluster.waitUntilIdle checks for any 'running' tasks on the TaskTracker... post HADOOP-840 the TaskTracker the cleanup actions are queued and are done offline, which the test-case isn't aware of ; which I suspect leads to a timing issue where the TaskTracker is rightly *idle* and the 'cleanup thread' hasn't kicked in yet...
Should we add a 'sleep' in MiniMRCluster.waitUntilIdle or perhaps another api to check if the job has finished and has been cleaned-up? Thoughts?

> TestMiniMRWithDFS fails sporadically with the following error:
> junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Spurious directory task_0001_m_000008_0 found in C:\hudson\workspace\Hadoop-WindowsSmokeTest\trunk\build\test\mapred\local\50068_0
> at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestMiniMRWithDFS.checkTaskDirectories(TestMiniMRWithDFS.java:128)
> at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestMiniMRWithDFS.testWithDFS(TestMiniMRWithDFS.java:163)
> This tests checks that all mapred.local.dirs have been cleaned up after running a mapred job on MiniMRCluster. Effectively, this tests waits for TaskTracker.isIdle() to return true before checking the dirs have been cleaned up. I believe that HADOOP-639 reordered the cleanup code so that isIdle() will return true before the directory cleanup is complete.
