Jason Lowe commented on MAPREDUCE-4367: --------------------------------------- Yes, it's still happening for me. From a recent trunk pull on a single-node cluster where the history server isn't running yet: {noformat} $ mapred job -kill job_1344038428359_0002 2012-08-04 00:09:56,871 INFO mapred.ClientServiceDelegate (ClientServiceDelegate.java:getProxy(255)) - Application state is completed.

Already tried 3 time(s); retry policy is RetryUpToMaximumCountWithFixedSleep(maxRetries=10, sleepTime=1 SECONDS) ... {noformat} And here's what it says after I start the history server: {noformat} $ mapred job -kill job_1344038428359_0002 2012-08-04 00:12:52,226 INFO mapred.ClientServiceDelegate (ClientServiceDelegate.java:getProxy(255)) - Application state is completed. FinalApplicationStatus=SUCCEEDED. Redirecting to job history server 2012-08-04 00:12:53,195 INFO mapred.ResourceMgrDelegate (ResourceMgrDelegate.java:killApplication(329)) - Killing application application_1344038428359_0002 Killed job job_1344038428359_0002 {noformat} Note that in both cases it says the application state is completed and is redirecting. If the application state is completed, there's no point in redirecting to the history server if we're trying to kill the application. Knowing the application state is completed means we can short-circuit the kill attempt before the redirect. > mapred job -kill tries to connect to history server > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4367 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4367 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: client, mrv2 > Affects Versions: 0.23.3 > Reporter: Jason Lowe > Priority: Minor > > The {{mapred job -kill}} command attempts to connect to the history server, > even though it is unrelated to the process of killing a job. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
