NodeManager fails to create containers when NM_LOG_DIR is not explicitly set in the Configuration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-2644 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2644 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: mrv2 Reporter: Josh Wills Assignee: Josh Wills If the yarn configuration does not explicitly specify a value for the yarn.server.nodemanager.log.dir property, container allocation will fail on the NodeManager w/an NPE when the LocalDirAllocator goes to create the temp directory. In most of the code, we handle this by defaulting to /tmp/logs, but we cannot do this in the LocalDirAllocator context, so we need to set the default value explicitly in the Configuration. Marking this as major b/c it's annoying to bump into it when you're getting your first MRv2 cluster up and running. :) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
