Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-1159: ------------------------------------- We saw the NPE coming from the call to mapOutputIn.read( ) in the MapOutputServlet.doGet method in TaskTracker.java. Hairong said that HADOOP-1123 should fix the NPE problem in the read method, but am not sure since it is not possible to consistently reproduce this problem. But if the NPE has really been fixed in the read method, I think we don't have to touch the doGet method (since ideally all exceptions to do with read/write should come to us as IOExceptions, which we already handle). > Reducers hang when map output file has a checksum error > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1159 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1159 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.12.2 > Reporter: Nigel Daley > Assigned To: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.12.3 > > Attachments: 1159-merge.patch, 1159.patch, h1159-2.patch, h1159.patch > > > Two reduces hung in our sort benchmark.
