Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2512: -------------------------------------- > 2) The way the Exception message is composed should be changed. I don't see any difference other than adding a "\n", is that true? > 3) In the patch you are waiting for the error stream to finish with the > output stream still open. This could possibly lead to a deadlock Not really, the process has already exited. This patch has the same guarantees as when waitFor() returning '0'. > [...] the rest [...] What is the issue with the current patch? If you think errMsg is not important, then we should not try to put it in IOException, right? > error stream handling in Shell executor > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2512 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2512 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: util > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Raghu Angadi > Assignee: Raghu Angadi > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-2512.patch > > > Fix a couple of issues while handling error stream in Shell (added in > HADOOP-2344) : > # fix typo in {{System.getProperty("line.seperator")}}, currently it adds > "null" instead of "\n". > # completed is not set to {{true}} when a process exits with an error. > # In normal error case, it reads errMsg (to create IOException) before > waiting for errThread to complete, which results in in consistent error > message.
