Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-4358: -------------------------------------- It seems like getAccessTime() is unnecessarily tied to "precision". Precision is just a configuration number to help reduce performance impact. "precision" of 1 hour should not mean all times should be at hour. Am I missing something? I thought accessTime is just the time when it was 'updated' (currently this implies when it was written edits.log). > NPE from CreateEditsLog > ----------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4358 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4358 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs, test > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Chris Douglas > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > > HADOOP-1869 added a call to setAccessTime(long) from the INode cstr, which > relies on a non-null value from FSNamesystem::getFSNamesystem. > {noformat} > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.INode.setAccessTime(INode.java:301) > at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.INode.<init>(INode.java:99) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.INodeDirectory.<init>(INodeDirectory.java:45) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.CreateEditsLog.addFiles(CreateEditsLog.java:68) > at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.CreateEditsLog.main(CreateEditsLog.java:214) > {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
