Null pointer exception while reporting progress -----------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-2152 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2152 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.9.0 Reporter: Olga Natkovich Fix For: 0.9.0 We have observed the following issues with code built from Pig 0.9 branch. We have not seen this with earlier versions; however, since this happens once in a while and is not reproducible at will it is not clear whether the issue is specific to 0.9 or not. Here is the stack: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.ProgressableReporter.progress(ProgressableReporter.java:37) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.physicalLayer.relationalOperators.POForEach.processPlan(POForEach.java:399) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.physicalLayer.relationalOperators.POForEach.getNext(POForEach.java:284) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.physicalLayer.PhysicalOperator.processInput(PhysicalOperator.java:290) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.physicalLayer.relationalOperators.POLocalRearrange.getNext(POLocalRearrange.java:256) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.PigMapBase.runPipeline(PigMapBase.java:261) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.PigMapBase.map(PigMapBase.java:256) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.PigMapBase.map(PigMapBase.java:58) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper.run(Mapper.java:144) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.runNewMapper(MapTask.java:764) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.run(MapTask.java:370) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child$4.run(Child.java:261) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1059) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:255) Note that the code in progress function looks as follows: public void progress() { if(rep!=null) rep.progress(); } This points to some sort of synchronization issue -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
