Masatake Iwasaki commented on HADOOP-7056: ------------------------------------------ just for noting. o.a.h.mapreduce.util.ConfigUtil#loadResources which is called in JobConf loads not only mapred-\{default,site\}.xml but also yarn-\{default,site\}.xml. {code} public static void loadResources() { addDeprecatedKeys(); Configuration.addDefaultResource("mapred-default.xml"); Configuration.addDefaultResource("mapred-site.xml"); Configuration.addDefaultResource("yarn-default.xml"); Configuration.addDefaultResource("yarn-site.xml"); } {code} > NN unintentionally reads mapred-site.xml > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7056 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7056 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Aaron T. Myers > Priority: Critical > > It seems that {{mapred-site.xml}} is now unintentionally being read by the > NN, and probably all the daemons. > This is because the {{Groups}} constructor calls > {{ReflectionUtils.newInstance(...)}}, which in turn calls > {{ReflectionUtils.setConf(...)}}, which calls > {{ReflectionUtils.setJobConf(...)}}, which creates an instance of > {{o.a.h.mapred.JobConf}}, which calls > {{o.a.h.mapreduce.util.ConfigUtil.loadResources(...)}}, which reads in > {{mapred-site.xml}} and {{mapred-default.xml}}. Phew! > I suspect the appropriate solution is for {{ReflectionUtils.setConf(...)}} to > be changed to not call (the mapred-specific) > {{ReflectionUtils.setJobConf(...)}}, but there's a comment in there which > says it's being left in place for backward compatibility. Can somebody with > more knowledge of that situation please comment? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
