I am currently trying to use Future Await to set a timeout inside the
map-reduce.
However, the tasks now fail instead of stuck, even if I have a Try Match to
catch it.
Doesn't anyone have an idea why?
The code is like
```Scala
files.map { file =>
Try {
def tmpFunc(): Boolean = { FILE CONVERTION ON HDFS }
val tmpFuture = Future[Boolean] { tmpFunc() }
Await.result(tmpFuture, 600 seconds)
} match {
case Failure(e) => "F"
case Success(r) => "S"
}
}
```
The converter is created in a lazy function in a broadcast object,
which shouldn't be a problem.
Best Regards
Wei
