JobTracker crashes with ArithmeticException
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-794
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-794
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.9.1
            Reporter: Nigel Daley


The sort benchmark on 20 nodes failed for me with an ArithmeticException.  
Sort.java calculates the number of maps and reduces dynamically based on the 
cluster size.  I'm guessing at the time it did the calculation, the jobtracker 
had heard from 0 task trackers (which seems odd since I wait 1 minute after 
starting the jobtracker before starting Sort).

>From the job output:
Running on 0 nodes to sort from /sortBenchmark20/input into 
/sortBenchmark20/output with 0 reduces.

>From the JobTracker log:
2006-12-07 07:10:06,709 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker: Job 
initialization failed:
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

The jobtacker should check for illegal inputs like this and not fall over.
