Default value for hadoop.job.history.location is broken -------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2872 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2872 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.17.0 Reporter: Owen O'Malley Assignee: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu Fix For: 0.17.0 The default value for hadoop.job.history.location is currently: file://${hadoop.log.dir}/history which assumes that hadoop.log.dir is an absolute path. If the path is relative, the job tracker dies with: 08/02/21 23:43:04 FATAL mapred.JobTracker: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong FS: file://./logs/history, expected: file:/// at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.checkPath(FileSystem.java:268) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.RawLocalFileSystem.pathToFile(RawLocalFileSystem.java:54) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.RawLocalFileSystem.exists(RawLocalFileSystem.java:223) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FilterFileSystem.exists(FilterFileSystem.java:147) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobHistory.init(JobHistory.java:124) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.<init>(JobTracker.java:706) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.startTracker(JobTracker.java:124) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.main(JobTracker.java:2146) I think that the right fix is to make the default value: "history" and when building, use the Path code: {code} new Path(get("hadoop.log.dir", conf), get("hadoop.job.history.location")); {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
