Description

In streaming, if I pass an input filename that doesn't exist,

bash-3.00$ hadoop jar hadoop-streaming.jar -mapper "/bin/cat" -reducer "/bin/cat" -input "inputfoo" -output "output"
...
07/07/28 07:37:18 ERROR streaming.StreamJob: Error Launching job : Input path doesnt exist : /user/knoguchi/inputfoo
bash-3.00$ echo $?
0

=================
Copy&Pasting Milind's comment.

its a hadoop streaming problem. See the code
below:

}catch( IOException ioe)

{ LOG.error("Error Launching job : " + ioe.getMessage()); }

finally {
if (error && (running_ != null))

{ LOG.info("killJob..."); running_.killJob(); }

jc_.close();

Note that it catches exception, and does not rethrow it !!!
