John George commented on HADOOP-7602: ------------------------------------- > > If {{buildDTServiceAuthority}} ever returns an empty string, then the token > is > rendered useless. The logs will show that a token was acquired, but > connections will mysteriously fail because an empty string doesn't match the > address of the connection. The logs are buggy then? > > The 1-line fix for the real problem is equally as minimal as reintroducing a > bug to mask another bug. > What you are saying here "might" be true, but my point is that in a sustaining release, it is better to minimize changes to known issues (as opposed to fixing everything around it) - just because it is safer that way. Having said that, I will still upload another patch with the changes you suggested > wordcount, sort etc on har files fails with NPE > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7602 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7602 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 0.20.206.0 > Reporter: John George > Assignee: John George > Fix For: 0.20.205.0 > > Attachments: hadoop-7602.1.patch, hadoop-7602.patch > > > wordcount, sort etc on har files fails with > NPE@createSocketAddr(NetUtils.java:137). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
