Allen Wittenauer resolved MAPREDUCE-485.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
likely stale.
> jobID() lookup failure should notify client
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-485
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-485
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Aaron Kimball
> Priority: Minor
>
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4420 (which also fixes
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4419) gracefully handles null
> ptr exceptions if JobTracker.setJobPriority() and killJob() get a null
> reference back from JobID lookup by returning silently. Future versions,
> though, should throw a better exception back to the client (see this comment:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4419?focusedCommentId=12639889#action_12639889)
> so they can handle the problem.
> This JIRA is for the separate issue of the API change that would require.
