IllegalArgumentException when CombineFileInputFormat is used as job InputFormat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-5759
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5759
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
            Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu
            Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu
             Fix For: 0.21.0


As per my understanding, CombineFileInputFormat is creating splits with 
rackname as split location. 
When I use CombineFileInputFormat as the InputFormat for job, job 
initialization fails with following exception :
2009-04-28 14:10:40,162 ERROR mapred.EagerTaskInitializationListener 
(EagerTaskInitializationListener.java:run(83)) - Job initialization failed:

When I changed CombineFileInputFormat to pass just rackname (without '/'), JT 
wrongly resolves  the node as /default-rack/<rack-name>.

Solution is to pass hostnames holding the block(on the rack),  instead of 
rackname.
