Greg Poirier commented on HDFS-442: ----------------------------------- This can be fixed by modifying src/test/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/BenchmarkThroughput.java:198 From: 198 String localDir = conf.get("mapred.temp.dir"); 199 dir = new LocalDirAllocator("mapred.temp.dir"); To: 198 String localDir = conf.get("hadoop.tmp.dir"); 199 dir = new LocalDirAllocator("hadoop.tmp.dir"); It looks as though this has been removed from subversion trunk though... but it still exists in 0.20.2/3, which I'm running currently. > dfsthroughput in test.jar throws NPE > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-442 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-442 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: test > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Ramya R > Priority: Minor > > On running hadoop jar hadoop-test.jar dfsthroughput OR hadoop > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.BenchmarkThroughput, we get NullPointerException. > Below is the stacktrace: > {noformat} > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException > at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:394) > at java.util.Properties.setProperty(Properties.java:143) > at java.lang.System.setProperty(System.java:731) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.BenchmarkThroughput.run(BenchmarkThroughput.java:198) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:65) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.BenchmarkThroughput.main(BenchmarkThroughput.java:229) > {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
