    Description

      I occasionally get a failure like this on org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestClusterMRNotification.testMR

      junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: expected:<6> but was:<4>
      	at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)
      	at junit.framework.Assert.failNotEquals(Assert.java:283)
      	at junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:64)
      	at junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:195)
      	at junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:201)
      	at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.NotificationTestCase.testMR(NotificationTestCase.java:184)
      	...
      

      It looks like a race condition:

          // run a job with FAILED status
          System.out.println(UtilsForTests.runJobFail(this.createJobConf(), inDir,
                                                      outDir).getID());
          Thread.sleep(2000);
          assertEquals(6, NotificationServlet.counter);
          assertEquals(0, NotificationServlet.failureCounter);
      

      Instead of sleeping for 2 seconds, we should keep checking the counter and fail after a timeout. There's a couple of similar places in the test that should be fixed too.
