---------------------------------------
Summary: Present friendlier error for non-static main
Key: MAPREDUCE-7251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-7251
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.9.2
Reporter: Connor Taffe
When running a jar with hadoop jar, e.g. when submitting using gcloud dataproc
jobs submit hadoop, a JAR with a non-static main gives a cryptic error message
that could be clearer. The current error message in Hadoop 2.9.2 looks like:
{code:java}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at
sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)
at
sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)
at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)
at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.run(RunJar.java:244)
at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:158)
at
com.google.cloud.hadoop.services.agent.job.shim.HadoopRunJarShim.main(HadoopRunJarShim.java:12)
{code}
Instead, it would be more helpful to show an error message like "Method main
must be static: foo.bar.BazMR".
