Todd Lipcon commented on MAPREDUCE-2472: ---------------------------------------- Hm, this seems to take care of extra intrnal whitespace, but I think we need a trim() in there too for trailing/leading whitespace > Extra whitespace in mapred.child.java.opts breaks JVM initialization > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2472 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2472 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: task-controller > Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Aaron T. Myers > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: mapreduce-2472.0.patch > > > When creating taskjvm.sh, we split mapred.child.java.opts on " " and then > create a quoted argument for each of those results. So, if you have an extra > space anywhere in this configuration, you get an argument '' in the child > command line, which the JVM interprets as an empty class name. This results > in a ClassNotFoundException and the task cannot run. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
