Xiang Li commented on PIG-4967: ------------------------------- Hi Daniel, thanks for the comments! 1. Could you please elaborate more on "decompose ControlledJob"? Do you mean that we should do some checkings before calling line 182 in PigJobControl as follow: {code} log.debug("Checking state of job "+j); {code} 2. When null is detected, do you think I can throw an Exception(May be IOException?) here, or I just log a waring, and give up logging in 182 and make Pig continue. I prefer the latter one, as line 182 is only to write a log for debug, we should not stop Pig running if the logging has something wrong? Does it make sense to you? > NPE in PigJobControl.run() when job status is null > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-4967 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4967 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Xiang Li > Assignee: Xiang Li > Priority: Critical > > {code} > [JobControl] ERROR org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop23.PigJobControl - Error > while trying to run jobs. > java.lang.NullPointerException > at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job.getJobName(Job.java:426) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.jobcontrol.ControlledJob.toString(ControlledJob.java:93) > at java.lang.String.valueOf(String.java:2982) > at java.lang.StringBuilder.append(StringBuilder.java:131) > at > org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop23.PigJobControl.run(PigJobControl.java:182) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) > at > org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher$1.run(MapReduceLauncher.java:276) > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
