Description
Hi,
After I while, my cluster will only run the reduce tasks sequentially (each reducer running on the same node), the other nodes stay empty. The map phase however will run the jobs on all the nodes, also after such a "long" reduce phase has completed. But the reduce phase will then be again executed sequentially. This happens in my cluster after about 160 successfully completed jobs. (Some jobs have reducer set to 0!).
As possible solution I have to restart the mapreduce service.
I didn't notice this behaviour in version 0.19.0. I can't use version 0.19.0 because of the multipleoutput bug when setting reducers to 0.
Anoter site node which might be related. I also tried running the jobs with speculative execution set to on. My cluster would always hold back one reducer and only run it (in multiple instances) after the first of the other 6 reducers had finished, instead of launching all of them at the same time.
Below is a short extract from related logfile. It's full of these kind of entries.
