[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3841) merge phase runs out of disk space

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3841?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12630809#action_12630809 ] 

Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-3841:
----------------------------------------

There was another instance of a reducer on a node with more than 280GB free space distributed over 4 disks and map input of 210 GB that could not find a disk with enough free space when it tried to create a merge file larger than 30 GB, because it included intermediate merged files into the new merge attempt although there were enough small non-merged files that could have been merged to bring the total number of input files below the fan factor.

> We observe that reduce tasks run out of disk space during merging (after fetching all map output) although there would be enough space if the framework did not try to generate too large merge files.
