JobClient creates a RunningJob with null status and profile -----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2535 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2535 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: client Affects Versions: 0.20.204.0 Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans Exception occurred because the job was retired and is removed from RetireJobCcahe and CompletedJobStatusStore. But, the JobClient creates a RunningJob with null status and profile, if getJob(JobID) is called again. So, Even-though not null check is there in the following user code, it did not help. 466 runningJob = jobClient.getJob(mapRedJobID); 467 if(runningJob != null) { JobClient.getJob() should return null if status is null. In trunk this is fixed by validating that the job status is not null every time it is updated, and also verifying that that the profile data is not null when created. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
