Summary: MR AM container log empty if exception occurs Key: MAPREDUCE-5723 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5723 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: applicationmaster Affects Versions: 2.2.0 Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam Assignee: Mohammad Kamrul Islam It occurs when the property "mapreduce.task.userlog.limit.kb" is set non-zero in mapped-site.xml. AM container syslog remains empty if any exception occurs. Bug details: In MRAppMaster.java, the following code snippets show the bug. } catch (Throwable t) { LOG.fatal("Error starting MRAppMaster", t); System.exit(1); }finally { LogManager.shutdown(); } In the catch block, we are exiting the JVM. So finally block (therefore LogManager.shutdown()) is never executed. Possible fix: Make sure LogManager.shutdown() is executed in all cases. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
