Amareshwari Sriramadasu updated MAPREDUCE-1598: ----------------------------------------------- Affects Version/s: (was: 0.21.0) 0.20.1 Fix Version/s: (was: 0.21.0) 0.20.3 "Disabling job history if anything fails" is not present in branch 0.21 or trunk. It is removed in job history refactoring through MAPREDUCE-157. Even the configuration mapreduce.jobtracker.jobhistory.completed.location is removed in the same jira. So, the bug is present in 0.20.* and earlier versions. > Wrongly configured 'hadoop.job.history.user.location' can cause jobs to be > pinned in JobTracker's memory forever > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1598 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1598 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jobtracker > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.20.3 > > > Wrongly configured 'hadoop.job.history.user.location' can disable > job-history.
