It retries as fast as it can.
Yes, I can see that. It seems we should either insert a call to 'sleep(1000)' at JobTracker.java line 696, or remove that while loop altogether, since JobTracker#startTracker() will already retry on a one-second interval. In the latter case, the directory creation should be moved back to the top of JobTracker#JobTracker(), before there are threads, etc. to clean up.
Owen added this loop recently, in: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1819 Can you please file an issue for this in Jira? Thanks, Doug
