[jira] Created: (MAPREDUCE-2049) JT and TT should prune invalid local dirs on startup

JT and TT should prune invalid local dirs on startup
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-2049
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2049
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jobtracker, tasktracker
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0
            Reporter: Eli Collins
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.21.1, 0.22.0


MRAsyncDiskService fails when it's given local dirs it can't create or write. Per MAPREDUCE-1213 this conflicts with the previous behavior. The TTs will no longer start on hosts where the config has localdirs that can not be created (ie if some hosts don't have the same local mounts).  

The TT and JT should prune out invalid local dirs (ones that fail checkLocalDirs ie that it can not create) before giving them to MRAsyncDiskService and using them otherwise.

Also mapred-default.xml states that mapred.local.dir that do not exist are ignored, this should be updated as directories that don't exist are created (if possible), they're only ignored if they can not be created.
