Hello, I've having a problem running my map/reduce job on my cluster. The map phase, completes successfully, but the reduce phase fails with the following error message:
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.get(ConcurrentHashMap.java:768) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask$ReduceCopier$GetMapEventsThread.getMapCompletionEvents(ReduceTask.java:2835) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask$ReduceCopier$GetMapEventsThread.run(ReduceTask.java:2756) I've done a lot of searching, and I've found some solutions as to not having any underscores in my hosts names. I changed them all, but the problem still hasn't resolved. Does anyone have any idea what the problem can be? Thanks, Farrokh
