IOException: Filesystem closed exception when running oozie workflow

Question

We are running a workflow in oozie. It contains two actions: the first is a map reduce job that generates files in the hdfs and the second is a job that should copy the data in the files to a database.

Both parts are done successfully but oozie throws an exception at the end that marks it as a failed process.

This is the exception:

Any idea ?

Answer 1

Use the below configuration while accessing file system.

Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.setBoolean("fs.hdfs.impl.disable.cache", true);
FileSystem fileSystem = FileSystem.get(conf);
