------------------------------------------

In that case I feel better, glad to know we haven't introduced newer bugs - 
especially in *that* part of the code! *smile*

>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jobtracker
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.21.0, 0.22.0

> 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.
