Configuration class fails to find embedded .jar resources; should use URL.openStream() --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-8031 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8031 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Elias Ross While running a hadoop client within RHQ (monitoring software) using its classloader, I see this: 2012-02-07 09:15:25,313 INFO [ResourceContainer.invoker.daemon-2] (org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration)- parsing jar:file:/usr/local/rhq-agent/data/tmp/rhq-hadoop-plugin-4.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar6856622641102893436.classloader/hadoop-core-0.20.2+737+1.jar7204287718482036191.tmp!/core-default.xml 2012-02-07 09:15:25,318 ERROR [InventoryManager.discovery-1] (rhq.core.pc.inventory.InventoryManager)- Failed to start component for Resource[id=16290, type=NameNode, key=NameNode:/usr/lib/hadoop-0.20, name=NameNode, parent=vg61l01ad-hadoop002.apple.com] from synchronized merge. org.rhq.core.clientapi.agent.PluginContainerException: Failed to start component for resource Resource[id=16290, type=NameNode, key=NameNode:/usr/lib/hadoop-0.20, name=NameNode, parent=vg61l01ad-hadoop002.apple.com]. Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: core-site.xml not found at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.loadResource(Configuration.java:1308) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.loadResources(Configuration.java:1228) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getProps(Configuration.java:1169) at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.set(Configuration.java:438) This is because the URL jar:file:/usr/local/rhq-agent/data/tmp/rhq-hadoop-plugin-4.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar6856622641102893436.classloader/hadoop-core-0.20.2+737+1.jar7204287718482036191.tmp!/core-default.xml cannot be found by DocumentBuilder (doesn't understand it). (Note: the logs are for an old version of Configuration class, but the new version has the same code.) The solution is to obtain the resource stream directly from the URL object itself. That is to say: {code} URL url = getResource((String)name); - if (url != null) { - if (!quiet) { - LOG.info("parsing " + url); - } - doc = builder.parse(url.toString()); - } + doc = builder.parse(url.openStream()); {code} Note: I have a full patch pending approval at Apple for this change, including some cleanup. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
