Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-1580: -------------------------------------- Ah, I missed that its calling {{JavaActionExecutor}}; make sense. I tried editing the mapreduce example by moving its {{<configuration>}} properties to a separate xml file and including that with {{<job-xml}}: {code:xml} <map-reduce> <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker> <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node> <prepare> <delete path="${nameNode}/user/${wf:user()}/${examplesRoot}/output-data/${outputDir}"/> </prepare> <job-xml>foo.xml</job-xml> </map-reduce> {code} The MR job succeeded, but Oozie had an {{IllegalArgumentException}} somewhere: {noformat} $ oozie job -info 0000000-131028144305717-oozie-rkan-W@mr-node ID : 0000000-131028144305717-oozie-rkan-W@mr-node ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Console URL : http://localhost:50030/jobdetails.jsp?jobid=job_201310281439_0001 Error Code : IllegalArgumentException Error Message : IllegalArgumentException: element cannot be null External ID : job_201310281439_0001 External Status : SUCCEEDED Name : mr-node Retries : 0 Tracker URI : localhost:8021 Type : map-reduce Started : 2013-10-28 21:44 GMT Status : ERROR Ended : - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ {noformat} You can see that the "external status" is "SUCCEEDED" (and I checked the MR job); but the action itself was "ERROR". I looked at the Oozie log, but all I see in there is this: {noformat} 2013-10-28 14:44:50,525 WARN ActionEndXCommand:542 - SERVER[rkanter-MBP.local] USER[rkanter] GROUP[-] TOKEN[] APP[map-reduce-wf] JOB[0000000-131028144305717-oozie-rkan-W] ACTION[0000000-131028144305717-oozie-rkan-W@mr-node] Error ending action [mr-node].
