Amareshwari Sriramadasu updated MAPREDUCE-118: ---------------------------------------------- Attachment: patch-118-5.txt Patch updated to trunk > Job.getJobID() will always return null > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-118 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: client > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: patch-118-0.20-1.txt, patch-118-0.20.txt, > patch-118-0.21.txt, patch-118-1.txt, patch-118-2.txt, patch-118-3.txt, > patch-118-4.txt, patch-118-5.txt, patch-118.txt > > > JobContext is used for a read-only view of job's info. Hence all the readonly > fields in JobContext are set in the constructor. Job extends JobContext. When > a Job is created, jobid is not known and hence there is no way to set JobID > once Job is created. JobID is obtained only when the JobClient queries the > jobTracker for a job-id., which happens later i.e upon job submission. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
