Sidharta Seethana updated HADOOP-12748: --------------------------------------- Description: When tasks running in a {{ThreadPoolExecutor}} throw an error/exception that is otherwise uncaught, it might not be propagated to the thread's uncaught exception handler because enclosing tasks (e.g {{FutureTask}}) might capture these exceptions (and do nothing). For more details, see : https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html#afterExecute-java.lang.Runnable-java.lang.Throwable- To ensure such errors are logged, one mechanism would be to override {{ThreadPoolExecutor}} with an {{afterExecute}} method that would log these exceptions/errors. Logging these exceptions/errors would be useful in debugging issues that are otherwise difficult to trace (e.g YARN-4643) because there is nothing in the logs indicating an uncaught exception/error Some test code that demonstrates this issue is attached. was: {{ThreadPoolExecutor}} catches (otherwise uncaught) exceptions/errors thrown by the tasks running in the corresponding thread pool. These are passed to an {{afterExecute}} method which seems to do nothing by default unless overridden. Even though we register {{UncaughtExceptionHandler}} s in various places (e.g {{YarnUncaughtExceptionHandler}}), these handlers are not invoked because the uncaught exceptions/errors are not propagated all the way To fix this, one mechanism would be to override {{ThreadPoolExecutor}} with an {{afterExecute}} method that would log these exceptions/errors. Logging these exceptions/errors would be useful in debugging issues that are otherwise difficult to trace (e.g YARN-4643) because there is nothing in the logs indicating an uncaught exception/error Edit: uploaded some test code that demonstrates this issue. > Uncaught exceptions are not caught/logged when ExecutorService is used > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-12748 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12748 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sidharta Seethana > Assignee: Sidharta Seethana > Attachments: TestUncaughExceptionHandler.java > > > When tasks running in a {{ThreadPoolExecutor}} throw an error/exception that > is otherwise uncaught, it might not be propagated to the thread's uncaught > exception handler because enclosing tasks (e.g {{FutureTask}}) might capture > these exceptions (and do nothing).
