Devaraj Das updated HADOOP-1152:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: 1152.workaround.patch

Actually the problem might not be in the rename. The NPE should not happen in 
the first place.
Here is a patch that will kill the task if it ever encounters a NPE in the 
affected part of the code. It will also log the state of the ramfs in terms of 
the files it currently has and their lengths. It will also log a diagnostic 
message which you would see in the web ui for the killed task. Please upload 
those log messages whenever you see tasks failing with this exception.
