Ravi Prakash commented on MAPREDUCE-5549:
-----------------------------------------
Just saw your comment Gera. Do you have a suggestion for how an exception in
the main thread should be handled differently than it is now? From what I can
see, Exception is being caught, LOG.error("Couldn't complete DistCp operation:
", e); and exitCode is being returned.
> distcp app should fail if m/r job fails

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5549
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5549
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: distcp, mrv2
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: David Rosenstrauch

> I run distcpv2 in a scripted manner. The script checks if the distcp step
> fails and, if so, aborts the rest of the script. However, I ran into an
> issue today where the distcp job failed, but my calling script went on its
> merry way.
> Digging into the code a bit more (at
> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-distcp/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/tools/DistCp.java),
> I think I see the issue: the distcp app is not returning an error exit code
> to the shell when the distcp job fails. This is a big problem, IMO, as it
> prevents distcp from being successfully used in a scripted environment. IMO,
> the code should change like so:
> Before:
> {code:title=org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.java}
> //...
> public int run(String[] argv) {
> //...
> try {
> execute();
> } catch (InvalidInputException e) {
> LOG.error("Invalid input: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.INVALID_ARGUMENT;
> } catch (DuplicateFileException e) {
> LOG.error("Duplicate files in input path: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.DUPLICATE_INPUT;
> } catch (Exception e) {
> LOG.error("Exception encountered ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.UNKNOWN_ERROR;
> }
> return DistCpConstants.SUCCESS;
> }
> //...
> {code}
> After:
> {code:title=org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.java}
> //...
> public int run(String[] argv) {
> //...
> Job job = null;
> try {
> job = execute();
> } catch (InvalidInputException e) {
> LOG.error("Invalid input: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.INVALID_ARGUMENT;
> } catch (DuplicateFileException e) {
> LOG.error("Duplicate files in input path: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.DUPLICATE_INPUT;
> } catch (Exception e) {
> LOG.error("Exception encountered ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.UNKNOWN_ERROR;
> }
> if (job.isSuccessful()) {
> return DistCpConstants.SUCCESS;
> }
> else {
> return DistCpConstants.UNKNOWN_ERROR;
> }
> }
> //...
> {code}
