Tom White commented on HADOOP-4041: ----------------------------------- I think this is saying that the HTML file for LocalDirAllocator generated by JDiff doesn't have an Apache license. It probably makes sense to exclude the JDiff files from the release audit tool. Otherwise this looks good. I'd like to commit it soon. > IsolationRunner does not work as documented > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4041 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4041 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation, mapred > Affects Versions: 0.18.0 > Reporter: Yuri Pradkin > Assignee: Philip Zeyliger > Attachments: HADOOP-4041-v2.patch, HADOOP-4041-v3.patch, > HADOOP-4041-v4.patch, hadoop-4041.patch, > org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalDirAllocator.html > > > IsolationRunner does not work as documented in the tutorial. > The tutorial says "To use the IsolationRunner, first set > keep.failed.tasks.files to true (also see keep.tasks.files.pattern)." > Should be: > keep.failed.task.files (not tasks) > After the above was set (quoted from my message on hadoop-core): > > After the task > > hung, I failed it via the web interface.
