Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-5852: ------------------------------------- This issue has been resolved in 0.20 IIRC, where the RPC handlers are started at the end of all initialization. Look at JobTracker.main - it constructs the JobTracker object and then invokes offerService, and towards the end of offerService, the interTrackerServer is started.. > JobTracker accepts heartbeats before startup is complete > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5852 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5852 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Critical > > When the JobTracker is instantiated, it starts listening on its RPC > interfaces before its startup is complete (ie the constructor is finished > executing). Because of this, jt.taskScheduler.taskTrackerManager can be null > when the JT receives a heartbeat from a TT. This throws the JT/TT pair into a > tight infinite loop (HADOOP-5761) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
