Todd Lipcon commented on MAPREDUCE-2237:
----------------------------------------
In this case I think it was a transient network issue on the JT machine.
> Lost heartbeat response containing MapTask throws NPE when it is resent
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-2237
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2237
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jobtracker
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.21.0, 0.22.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> When the JT sends a heartbeat response, it records it in
> trackerToHeartbeatResponseMap. But after MapTask writes its input split, it
> sets that split to null (assumedly to save memory?). So, if the heartbeat
> response is lost, and the JT needs to resend it, it will throw NPE since the
> split information has been lost.
