Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-4296:
-------------------------------------
One thing to verify here is whether you see this message in the JobTracker logs
- "Retired job with id:" around the time you see the NPE in the client.
> Spasm of JobClient failures on successful jobs every once in a while

> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapred
> Affects Versions: 0.17.1
> Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
> Priority: Critical
>
> At very busy times - we get a wave of job client failures all at the same
> time. the failures come when the job is about to complete. when we look at
> the job history files - the jobs are actually complete. Here's the stack:
> 08/09/27 02:18:00 INFO mapred.JobClient: map 100% reduce 98%
> 08/09/27 02:18:41 INFO mapred.JobClient: map 100% reduce 99%
> java.lang.NullPointerException
