Harsh J commented on HADOOP-1859: --------------------------------- I do not think this still applies. While an old post like http://badcheese.com/?q=node/80 tells me there used to be a Buffer subclass in FSInputDataStream that threw this before, it does not really exist anymore. If I load an FSDataInputStream via a LocalFileSystem#open(…) in a test case and wrap it to a BufferedInputStream, close the latter and issue BufferedInputStream#available, it throws a stream-closed IO exception appropriately. There is no BufferedInputStream#getPos, however. Along the same lines, DFSInputStream recently added a closed-so-ioexception in itself to protect against post-closed seeks, but there the closes were managed directly. HDFS-1615. This one looks fixed, meanwhile, due to all the refactoring since '07. Do reopen if I've got all of this wrong. > FSInputDataStream.getPos throws null pointer exception when file has been > closed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1859 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1859 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.14.1 > Reporter: Benjamin Reed > > If an FSInputDataStream object has been closed, invoking getPos() will cause > a NullPointerException. This is because BufferedInputStream.close() sets in > to null, and Buffer.getPos() does not check for in being null. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
