hadoop中的一次集群任务执行超时问题查找过程

刘伟

 
 

问题背景

 
本次进行一个项目的重构，在某些活动数据量比较大的情况下，会偶尔出现1200s超时的情况，如下：
 

AttemptID:attempt_1410771599055_11709_m_000033_0 Timed out after 1200 secs

  
而hadoop会不断启动备份任务进行重试，重试也许成功，但失败的概率还是比较大：
 

 
 
经过分析，hadoop的任务都有个超时时间，使用下面的参数设置，表示1200s后如果没有进展，就会任务该任务超时，将其状态设置为FAILED。
 

-Dmapreduce.task.timeout=1200000
 
到底因为什么原因导致超时？为了继续分析这个问题，我们将这个参数设置得非常之大。
 

调整超时参数

 
将超时时间设置为24小时之后，发现任务不会FAILED，但是其执行了大概40多个小时，仍然还没有执行完成。
 
还好我们在任务执行过程中打了不少的log，以帮助分析问题。经过日志的分析，我们发现有下面的现象：

日志分析得出的结论便是，程序总会在某个时间点休息3600秒（大概1个小时），然后再执行一会儿，便又休息3600秒。
 

hadoop configuration中得出初步结论

 
我们在这1个小时对该java进程进行监控，发现该进程在此期间(jstack命令查看其日志)，一直在一个点等待：

当时初步怀疑是JDK版本问题，Java NIO也确实存在着臭名昭著的epoll空轮询导致CPU100%问题，但这个bug在JDK6中的高版本就已经解决了，更何况我们使用的是1.7。而且我们通过top -p 进程id的方式查看其CPU占用率为0，排除了该bug。
 
经过日志的初步分析，发现3600s这个线索，从job的configuration中，初步查找出参数dfs.client.socket-timeout，单位毫秒。

-Ddfs.client.socket-timeout=3600000
 
试验性地将这个参数修改为60ms，可以看出出现超时的概率非常大，但会不断重试以继续:

于是，最终将这个参数设置为60s，这其实也是集群最终默认的超时时间，由于之前一次不明就里的优化，导致了后续这些问题的发生，因此在调整参数时，一定要注意了解清楚该参数造成的影响。
 

简要分析的结论

 
在Mapper端读取HDFS上的文件时，可能由于网络原因（由于我们的Split切分地比较大，因此不可能做到完全数据本地化）导致读取数据超时，原来居然设置成1个小时，而任务的超时时间仅设置为20分钟，因此只要发生读取数据超时，就必然会引起任务超时。
 
通过这次分析过程，学到了很多查找问题的方式，包括通过现象分析规律，得到线索，最终查找问题的原因。快速测试，不能忽略哪怕一个小的Exception，不行就是分析hadoop的源码，掌握其运行时行为。
 
　　对于悬挂的task，如果task tracker在一段时间（默认是10min，可以通过mapred.task.timeout属性值来设置，单位是毫秒）内一直没有收到它的进度报告，则把它标记为失效，这时候就会出现前面所说的超时错误。
　　TaskTracker通过心跳包告知JobTracker某个task attempt失败了，则JobTracker把该task尽量分配给另外一个task tracker来执行。如果同一个task连续4次（该值可以通过mapred.map.max.attempts和mapred.reduce.max.attempts属性值来设置）都执行失败，那JobTracker就不会再做更多的尝试了，本次job也就宣告失败了。
