NPE in TaskInProgress.cleanup ----------------------------- Key: HADOOP-5136 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5136 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.21.0 Reporter: Steve Loughran Priority: Minor
This may be something that only my code triggers; an NPE in TaskTracker$TaskInProgress.cleanup {code} [sf-startdaemon-debug] 09/01/28 11:41:06 [TaskLauncher for task] INFO mapred.TaskTracker : Error cleaning up task runner: java.lang.NullPointerException [sf-startdaemon-debug] at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$TaskInProgress.cleanup(TaskTracker.java:2487) [sf-startdaemon-debug] at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.startNewTask(TaskTracker.java:1825) [sf-startdaemon-debug] at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.access$1100(TaskTracker.java:104) [sf-startdaemon-debug] at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$TaskLauncher.run(TaskTracker.java:1779) {code} Looking at the code, the only source of NPE's on that line is localJobConf {code} if (localJobConf.getNumTasksToExecutePerJvm() == 1) { {code} It looks like if TaskInProgress.cleanup() ever gets called with no valid localJobConf, then an NPE is the result. The exception gets logged and discarded, but it does appear in the logs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
