NullPointerException on line 321 in TaskRunner.java when system property "hadoop.log.dir" is not set ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2681 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2681 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: conf Affects Versions: 0.15.2 Reporter: Xu Zhang Priority: Minor Currently, NullPointerException exception is thrown on line 321 in TaskRunner.java when system property "hadoop.log.dir" is not set. Instead of a NullPointerException exception, I expected a default value for "hadoop.log.dir" to be used, or to see a more meaningful error message that helped me figure out what was wrong. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
