Key: PIG-943 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-943 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.3.0 Reporter: Daniel Dai Fix For: 0.4.0 We see following call stacks in Pig: Case 1: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher.computeWarningAggregate(MapReduceLauncher.java:390) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher.launchPig(MapReduceLauncher.java:238) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine.execute(HExecutionEngine.java:265) Case 2: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pig.tools.pigstats.PigStats.accumulateMRStats(PigStats.java:150) at org.apache.pig.tools.pigstats.PigStats.accumulateStats(PigStats.java:91) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher.launchPig(MapReduceLauncher.java:192) at org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine.execute(HExecutionEngine.java:265) In both cases, hadoop jobs finishes without error. The cause of both problems is RunningJob.getCounters() returns a null, and Pig do not currently check for that. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
