[Hadoop-common-dev] [jira] Created: (HADOOP-3358) The FileSystem operations in JobInProgress.garbageCollect should be moved out of the synchronized block

The FileSystem operations in JobInProgress.garbageCollect should be moved out of the synchronized block
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: HADOOP-3358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3358
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Devaraj Das
Assignee: Devaraj Das
Fix For: 0.18.0


In garbageCollect, the jobTracker deletes files in the filesystem but that is after locking the JobTracker/JobInProgress. This should be changed to move the filesystem operations outside the locks. I encountered HADOOP-3357 and that effectively locked up the jobTracker.
