Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-1748: --------------------------------------------- It would also be good to improve logging messages. Printing the status of a failed task does not say a lot about why it failed. The real error message could have saved us a lot of time. > Task Trackers fail to launch tasks when they have relative log directories > configured > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1748 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1748 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Attachments: relative-path-logdir.patch > > > Task Trackers use the configured log directory to get the locations of the > user log files. The Task Tracker does a mkdir, but the task is in a different > current directory. Therefore, the directory does not exist and the Task fails. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
