Todd Lipcon reassigned MAPREDUCE-2219: -------------------------------------- Assignee: Todd Lipcon > JT should not try to remove mapred.system.dir during startup > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2219 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2219 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jobtracker > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: mapreduce-2219.txt > > > During startup, the JT tries to clean up mapred.system.dir by recursively > removing it and then recreating it. This requires that mapred.system.dir is > inside a directory owned by the mapred user. For example, if set to > /system/mapred then /system must be owned by the mapred account. This isn't > documented properly and also seems unnecessary. Instead we can remove the > *contents* of mapred.system.dir instead of the directory itself. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
