Vinod K V commented on HADOOP-4296:
-----------------------------------
-1. I think that in this patch itself you should also make JobClient skip out
of the loop when it detects the job as complete, because that is the correct
fix irrespective of what the polling interval of JobClient is. Currently note
that we are not sync'ing client's polling interval with MIN_TIME_BEFORE_RETIRE
that you added, so if later, client's polling interval becomes
configurable/increases beyond MIN_TIME_BEFORE_RETIRE, this problem surfaces
again.
> Spasm of JobClient failures on successful jobs every once in a while

> 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
