Steve Loughran commented on MAPREDUCE-1366: ------------------------------------------- I would only set the fatalError value if it is not null, so that the earliest fault gets retained. A setFatalError() method could do this. Also, this may be an opportunity to give the MiniMRCluster and MinDFS cluster a common base class rather than continue to duplicate code. > Tests should not timeout if TaskTracker/JobTracker crashes in MiniMRCluster > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1366 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1366 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: test > Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: M1366-0.patch > > > Currently tests timeout if there is any problem bringing up JobTracker or > TaskTracker in MiniMRCluster.
