    Description

      Currently, the reduce fetch code doesn't check the HTTP status code of the response. This can lead to the following situation:

      • the map output servlet gets an IOException after setting the headers but before the first call to flush()
      • this causes it to send a response with a non-OK result code, including the exception text as the response body (response.sendError() does this if the response isn't committed)
      • it will still include the response headers indicating it's a valid response

      In the case of a merge-to-memory, the compression codec might then try to interpret the HTML response as compressed data, resulting in either a huge allocation (OOME) or some other nasty error. This bug seems to be present in MR1, but haven't checked trunk/MR2 yet.
