NPE in expiry thread when a TT is lost
--------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-754
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-754
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jobtracker
            Reporter: Ramya R
            Priority: Minor


NullPointerException is obtained in Tracker Expiry Thread. Below is the exception obtained in the JT logs 
{noformat}
ERROR org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker: Tracker Expiry Thread got exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.updateTaskTrackerStatus(JobTracker.java:2971)
        at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.access$300(JobTracker.java:104)
        at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker$ExpireTrackers.run(JobTracker.java:381)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
{noformat}
The steps to reproduce this issue are:
* Blacklist a TT. 
* Restart it. 
* The above exception is obtained when the first instance of TT is marked as lost.

However the above exception does not break any functionality.
