Hi again, in addition to my previous post, I was able to get some error logs from the task tracker/data node this morning and looks like it might be a jetty issue:
2013-05-23 19:59:20,595 WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskLog: Failed to retrieve stdout log for task: attempt_201305231647_0007_m_001096_0 java.io.IOException: Owner 'jim' for path /var/tmp/jim/hadoop-logs/userlogs/job_201305231647_0007/attempt_201305231647_0007_m_001096_0/stdout did not match expected owner '10929' at org.apache.hadoop.io.SecureIOUtils.checkStat(SecureIOUtils.java:177) at org.apache.hadoop.io.SecureIOUtils.openForRead(SecureIOUtils.java:117) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskLog$Reader.<init>(TaskLog.java:455) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskLogServlet.printTaskLog(TaskLogServlet.java:81) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskLogServlet.doGet(TaskLogServlet.java:296) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:707) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:820) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle(ServletHolder.java:511) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1221) at org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer$QuotingInputFilter.doFilter(HttpServer.java:848) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1212) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle(ServletHandler.java:399) I am wondering if I am hitting MAPREDUCE-2389<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2389>If so, how do I downgrade my jetty version? Should I just replace the jetty jar file in the lib directory with an earlier version and restart my cluster? Thank you.
