[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-5198) NPE in Shell.runCommand()

["Vinod K V (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5198?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Vinod K V updated HADOOP-5198:
------------------------------

     Affects Version/s:     (was: 0.21.0)
         Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.21.0)
    Remaining Estimate: 0h
     Original Estimate: 0h

Even I observed two instances of this problem on a big cluster with a JT that was running for nearly 6 hours. A preliminary analysis does point to a race condition between a jvm just cleaning up and a new task trying to kill this old jvm for a free slot.
