Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3438: ---------------------------------------- I should add that this makes running under the debugger trickier too. This property should only be needed if no log dir is set in the configuration. > NPE if job tracker started and system property hadoop.log.dir is not set > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-3438 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3438 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: metrics > Affects Versions: 0.18.0 > Environment: amd64 ubuntu, jrockit 1.6 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > > This is a regression. If the system property "hadoop.log.dir" is not set, the > job tracker NPEs rather than starts up. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
