Hudson commented on MAPREDUCE-6535: ----------------------------------- FAILURE: Integrated in Hadoop-trunk-Commit #9500 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-trunk-Commit/9500/]) MAPREDUCE-6535. TaskID default constructor results in NPE on toString(). (jlowe: rev 3f622a143c5fb15fee7e5dded99e4a4136f19810) * hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/TaskID.java * hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/TestTaskID.java > TaskID default constructor results in NPE on toString() > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-6535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6535 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: Daniel Templeton > Assignee: Daniel Templeton > Fix For: 2.9.0 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-6535.001.patch > > > This code will reproduce the issue: > {code} > new TaskAttemptID().toString(); > {code} > The issue is that the default constructor leaves the type {{null}}. The > {{get()}} in {{CharTaskTypesMaps.getRepresentingCharacter()}} then throws an > NPE on the null type key. > The simplest solution would be to only call the {{get()}} on line 288 of > {{TaskID.java}} if {{type}} is not {{null}} and return some other literal > otherwise. Since no part of the code is tripping on the NPE, what we choose > for the literal shouldn't matter. How about "x"? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
