> JobConf.findContainingJar NPEs if it can't find the classloader of a class
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-3965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3965
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Setting up a job under Groovy
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> I never knew that classes may not have classloaders, but it turns out they
> can -in which case Object.getClass().getClassLoader() will be null "This
> method will return null in such implementations if this class was loaded by
> the bootstrap class loader.""
> When this (rare) situation arises, {{JobConf.findContainingJar()}} NPEs, when
> failing with a slightly more useful error message would be preferred.
