JobTracker balks at empty String for locations
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1724
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jobtracker
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
         Environment: CDH 2 hadoop-0.20.1+169.68
            Reporter: Craig Macdonald
            Priority: Minor


If a split has locations which are "" (empty String), then the JobTracker will get upset during initialization:

Two key points:
 * This is different from Hadoop 0.18
 * CombineFileSplit has a constructor where String[] location is not specified, and hence the location array is populated with empty Strings.
