[jira] [Commented] (PIG-2152) Null pointer exception while reporting progress

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2152?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13061891#comment-13061891 ] 

Vivek Padmanabhan commented on PIG-2152:
----------------------------------------

Even though not reproducible , the exception is happening randomly and quite frequently. 
>From most of the failed jobs it looks like this is happening towards end of the task execution. Till now, it is seen only in Map Tasks.
The below is one NullPointer from progess() with a different call heirachy;

> We have observed the following issues with code built from Pig 0.9 branch. We have not seen this with earlier versions; however, since this happens once in a while and is not reproducible at will it is not clear whether the issue is specific to 0.9 or not.

> Note that the code in progress function looks as follows:
> public void progress() {
>         if(rep!=null)
>             rep.progress();
>     }
> This points to some sort of synchronization issue
