> When using JobHistoryServer CLI to query a job id that does not exist on the
> server, it may throw NullPointerException sometimes.
> I tried "mapred job -events <some_wrong_jobId> 0 100", and the result was:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
> at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.tools.CLI.listEvents(CLI.java:487)
> at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.tools.CLI.run(CLI.java:316)
> at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:70)
> at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:84)
> at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.main(JobClient.java:1237)
> Similar symptoms also appear with -list-attempt-ids, but were fine with
> -status and -set-priority.
> I traced back to CLI.listEvents, and line 487 is:
> {code}
> TaskCompletionEvent[] events = job.
> getTaskCompletionEvents(fromEventId, numEvents);
> {code}
> The job object is obtained from JobID.forName(jobid)) (line 316), which will
> return null if the job does not exist on server.
> Maybe we want to have some behaviors consistent with -status here, by simply
> reporting jobId does not exist?
