Ahmed Radwan updated MAPREDUCE-1740: ------------------------------------ Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > NPE in getMatchingLevelForNodes when node locations are variable depth > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1740 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1740 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jobtracker > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-1740.patch, mapreduce-1740.txt > > > In getMatchingLevelForNodes, we assume that both nodes have the same "depth" > (ie number of path components). If the user provides a topology script that > assigns one node a path like /foo/bar/baz and another node a path like > /foo/blah, this function will throw an NPE. > I'm not sure if there are other places where we assume that all node > locations have a constant number of paths. If so we should check the output > of the topology script aggressively to be sure this is the case. Otherwise I > think we simply need to add && n2 != null to the while loop -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
