Jobs use incorrect path to job.xml for different users ------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2007 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2007 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.14.1 Environment: OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5) - AMD64 JRE: java full version "1.6.0_02-b05" Reporter: Ryan Lynch We run hadoop/hdfs under a generic username of 'hadoop'. When submitting a job as user 'fred', the job.xml file gets created correctly as /tmp/*hadoop-fred*/mapred/system/<job_id>/job.xml, but the JobInProgress constructor appears to use the incorrect path of /tmp/*hadoop-hadoop*/mapred/system/<job_id>/job.xml for the copyToLocalFile operation. This results in an exception because the job.xml file does not exist under /tmp/hadoop-hadoop. I think the incorrect path gets created on line 133 in JobInProgress.java right before the call to copyToLocalFile. If I hardcode the correct path (just to test my theory) of "/tmp/hadoop-fred/mapred/system" in place of the call to default_conf.getSystemDir(), the job kicks off and runs to completion as the user 'fred' with hadoop/hdfs running as the user 'hadoop'. Here's a portion of the output when the job is submitted by user 'fred': [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ hadoop --config /usr/local/hadoop/conf jar /usr/local/hadoop/current/hadoop-0.14.1-examples.jar wordcount mytest/input/data output2 07/10/07 17:52:14 INFO mapred.FileInputFormat: Total input paths to process : 62 org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException: /tmp/hadoop-hadoop/mapred/system/job_200710071751_0002/job.xml: No such file or directory at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil.copy(FileUtil.java:138) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.copyToLocalFile(FileSystem.java:803) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.copyToLocalFile(FileSystem.java:784) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobInProgress.<init>(JobInProgress.java:134) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.submitJob(JobTracker.java:1479) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
