Tom White commented on HADOOP-1159:
-----------------------------------
I understand that the NPE is logged fully, but NPEs typically indicate a
programming problem (which is why APIs don't document them as being thrown,
except to indicate a programming problem), so we should strive to fix the
underlying problem.
Put another way - which line in TaskTracker throws the NPE? If we know this,
then can we check for the condition that causes it to be thrown and then
declare the task lost.

> Two reduces hung in our sort benchmark. They always fail to get map outputs
> from node X due to checksum error when the map outputs are read at that node
> resulting in a NullPointerException on node X. This leads to constant
> failures on the two fetching reduces.
