[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-986) rumen makes a task with a null type when one of the task lines is truncated

["Hong Tang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-986?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12755755#action_12755755 ] 

Hong Tang commented on MAPREDUCE-986:
-------------------------------------

{noformat}
-      task.setTaskType(typ);
+      if (!taskAlreadyLogged || typ != null) {
+        task.setTaskType(typ);
+      }
{noformat}
Shouldn't it be just:
{noformat}
-      task.setTaskType(typ);
+      if (typ != null) {
+        task.setTaskType(typ);
+      }
{noformat}
Otherwise, you would still the task type if taskAlreadyLogged==true but typ is null, and then later be ignored.

Also -1 on modifying existing tests to test bug fixes. It'd be better to have a standalone negative test case to test this logic instead of piggybacking the testing with another test.

> Rumen was used to produce a job trace, but the job trace contained a LoggedTask that had a null taskType.  This appears to happen when a Task line is truncated.
> We should not put the LoggedTask in the trace at all when this happens.
