Hi all, I'm getting this NPE on Hadoop 0.18.3, using the EC2 contrib scripts:
Exception in thread "Timer thread for monitoring dfs"
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.hadoop.metrics.ganglia.GangliaContext.xdr_string(GangliaContext.java:195)
This is reported as: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4137
What's the easiest workaround? Switch to another Hadoop version
(which one)? Or disable Ganglia entirely (how)?
Thanks,
-Stuart
