NPE in getMatchingLevelForNodes when node locations are variable depth (ahmed via tucu) (Revision 1303076) Result = SUCCESS tucu : http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN&view=rev&rev=1303076 Files : * /hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-mapreduce-project/CHANGES.txt * /hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-mapreduce-project/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobInProgress.java * /hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-mapreduce-project/src/test/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/TestJobInProgress.java > 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 > Affects Versions: 0.20.3 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Ahmed Radwan > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-1740.patch, MAPREDUCE-1740_branch-1.0.patch, > MAPREDUCE-1740_trunk.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.
