Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-754: -------------------------------------- test-patch and all tests except TestDFSPermission, TestJobHistory, TestReduceFetch and TestPermission. I ran TestJobHistory and TestPermission locally again and it passed. TestDFSPermission failure is unrelated while TestReduceFetch failure is a known issue. > NPE in expiry thread when a TT is lost > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-754 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-754 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jobtracker > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Ramya R > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: mapreduce-754-v1.1.patch, mapreduce-754-v1.2.patch, > mapreduce-754-v2.2-branch-21.patch, mapreduce-754-v2.2-yahoo.patch, > mapreduce-754-v2.2.1-yahoo.patch, mapreduce-754-v2.2.patch, > mapreduce-754-wip.patch > > > NullPointerException is obtained in Tracker Expiry Thread.
