Tsuyoshi Ozawa commented on MAPREDUCE-6298: ------------------------------------------- The fix itself looks good to me. [~jira.shegalov] I'd like to to listen to your opinion - do you think should we mark this change as incompatible change? It change the semantics of Job#toString, but current users don't call toString in not running state. > Job#toString throws an exception when not in state RUNNING > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-6298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6298 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lars Francke > Assignee: Lars Francke > Priority: Minor > Labels: BB2015-05-TBR > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-6298.1.patch > > > Job#toString calls {{ensureState(JobState.RUNNING);}} as the very first > thing. That method causes an Exception to be thrown which is not nice. > One thing this breaks is usage of Job on the Scala (e.g. Spark) REPL as that > calls toString after every invocation and that fails every time. > I'll attach a patch that checks state and if it's RUNNING prints the original > message and if not prints something else. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
