Description

hadoop job -kill/-status seems to cause NullPointerException

As an example, I started a streaming job and tried to kill it. This raises NullPointerException

[lohit@krygw1000 mapred]$ bin/hadoop job -Dmapred.job.tracker=kry1443:56225 -kill job_200710011856_0001
07/10/01 18:57:07 INFO jvm.JvmMetrics: Initializing JVM Metrics with processName=JobTracker, sessionId=

So does 'hadoop job -status'
[lohit@krygw1000 mapred]$hadoop job -Dmapred.job.tracker=kry1443:56225 -status job_200710011856_0001
07/10/01 18:57:21 INFO jvm.JvmMetrics: Initializing JVM Metrics with processName=JobTracker, sessionId=
