Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-8801: ---------------------------------------- looks OK, but the patch should fix something the original got wrong -it should use {{Throwable.toString()}} not {{Throwable.getMessage()}}. If you want to see why, look at the source for {{NullPointerException}} and work out what message it prints... > ExitUtil#terminate should capture the exception stack trace > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8801 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8801 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Eli Collins > Fix For: 2.0.2-alpha > > Attachments: hadoop-8801.txt > > > ExitUtil#terminate(status,Throwable) should capture and log the stack trace > of the given throwable.
