Interface TaskUmbilicalProtocol

All Superinterfaces:

org.apache.hadoop.ipc.VersionedProtocol

@InterfaceAudience.Private

public interface TaskUmbilicalProtocol
extends org.apache.hadoop.ipc.VersionedProtocol

Protocol that task child process uses to contact its parent process. The parent is a daemon which which polls the central master for a new map or reduce task and runs it as a child process. All communication between child and parent is via this protocol.

Field Summary

static long

versionID Changed the version to 2, since we have a new method getMapOutputs Changed version to 3 to have progress() return a boolean Changed the version to 4, since we have replaced TaskUmbilicalProtocol.progress(String, float, String, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskStatus.Phase, Counters) with statusUpdate(String, TaskStatus) Version 5 changed counters representation for HADOOP-2248 Version 6 changes the TaskStatus representation for HADOOP-2208 Version 7 changes the done api (via HADOOP-3140).

Method Summary

void	fatalError(TaskAttemptID taskId, String message) Report that the task encounted a fatal error.
void	fsError(TaskAttemptID taskId, String message) Report that the task encounted a local filesystem error.
MapTaskCompletionEventsUpdate	getMapCompletionEvents(JobID jobId, int fromIndex, int maxLocs, TaskAttemptID id) Called by a reduce task to get the map output locations for finished maps.

versionID

static final long versionID

Changed the version to 2, since we have a new method getMapOutputs Changed version to 3 to have progress() return a boolean Changed the version to 4, since we have replaced TaskUmbilicalProtocol.progress(String, float, String, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskStatus.Phase, Counters) with statusUpdate(String, TaskStatus) Version 5 changed counters representation for HADOOP-2248 Version 6 changes the TaskStatus representation for HADOOP-2208 Version 7 changes the done api (via HADOOP-3140). It now expects whether or not the task's output needs to be promoted. Version 8 changes {job|tip|task}id's to use their corresponding objects rather than strings. Version 9 changes the counter representation for HADOOP-1915 Version 10 changed the TaskStatus format and added reportNextRecordRange for HADOOP-153 Version 11 Adds RPCs for task commit as part of HADOOP-3150 Version 12 getMapCompletionEvents() now also indicates if the events are stale or not. Hence the return type is a class that encapsulates the events and whether to reset events index. Version 13 changed the getTask method signature for HADOOP-249 Version 14 changed the getTask method signature for HADOOP-4232 Version 15 Adds FAILED_UNCLEAN and KILLED_UNCLEAN states for HADOOP-4759 Version 16 Change in signature of getTask() for HADOOP-5488 Version 17 Modified TaskID to be aware of the new TaskTypes Version 18 Added numRequiredSlots to TaskStatus for MAPREDUCE-516 Version 19 Added fatalError for child to communicate fatal errors to TT

Method Detail

getTask

JvmTask getTask(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JvmContext context)
                throws IOException

Called when a child task process starts, to get its task.

Parameters:

context - the JvmContext of the JVM w.r.t the TaskTracker that launched it

Returns:

Task object

Throws:

IOException

statusUpdate

boolean statusUpdate(TaskAttemptID taskId,
                     TaskStatus taskStatus)
                     throws IOException,
                            InterruptedException

Report child's progress to parent.

Parameters:

taskId - task-id of the child

taskStatus - status of the child

Returns:

True if the task is known

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

reportDiagnosticInfo

void reportDiagnosticInfo(TaskAttemptID taskid,
                          String trace)
                          throws IOException

Report error messages back to parent. Calls should be sparing, since all such messages are held in the job tracker.

Parameters:

taskid - the id of the task involved

trace - the text to report

Throws:

IOException

reportNextRecordRange

void reportNextRecordRange(TaskAttemptID taskid,
                           org.apache.hadoop.mapred.SortedRanges.Range range)
                           throws IOException

Report the record range which is going to process next by the Task.

Parameters:

taskid - the id of the task involved

range - the range of record sequence nos

Throws:

IOException

ping

boolean ping(TaskAttemptID taskid)
             throws IOException

Periodically called by child to check if parent is still alive.

Returns:

True if the task is known

Throws:

IOException

done

void done(TaskAttemptID taskid)
          throws IOException

Report that the task is successfully completed. Failure is assumed if the task process exits without calling this.

Parameters:

taskid - task's id

Throws:

IOException

commitPending

void commitPending(TaskAttemptID taskId,
                   TaskStatus taskStatus)

Report that the task is complete, but its commit is pending.

Parameters:

taskId - task's id

taskStatus - status of the child

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

canCommit

boolean canCommit(TaskAttemptID taskid)
                  throws IOException

Polling to know whether the task can go-ahead with commit

Returns:

true/false

Throws:

IOException

shuffleError

void shuffleError(TaskAttemptID taskId,
                  String message)
                  throws IOException

Report that a reduce-task couldn't shuffle map-outputs.

Throws:

IOException

             throws IOException

Report that the task encounted a local filesystem error.

getMapCompletionEvents

MapTaskCompletionEventsUpdate getMapCompletionEvents(JobID jobId,
                                                     int fromIndex,
                                                     int maxLocs,
                                                     TaskAttemptID id)
                                                     throws IOException

Called by a reduce task to get the map output locations for finished maps. Returns an update centered around the map-task-completion-events. The update also piggybacks the information whether the events copy at the task-tracker has changed or not. This will trigger some action at the child-process.

Parameters:

fromIndex - the index starting from which the locations should be fetched

maxLocs - the max number of locations to fetch

id - The attempt id of the task that is trying to communicate

Returns:

A MapTaskCompletionEventsUpdate

Throws:

IOException
