    Description

      When using C++-pipes interface, mappers/reducers not emitting any key-values pairs, but running longer than 'mapred.task.timeout' might timeout even when they send periodical status updates upstream.

      The cause of the problem is that all upstream messages are buffered. Progress and status updates should be flushed immediately.
