Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-7602: ------------------------------------- I was actually working on this same problem... The issue is {{TokenCache}} is attempting to get tokens for a non-server based authority. {{buildDTServiceName}} is documented as returning ip:port. It's only called by a {{FileSystem}} to set its token's service. Having {{buildDTServiceName}} return an empty string to satisfy bad behavior in the {{TokenCache}} doesn't feel right. I'd prefer an exception like {{new IllegalArgumentException( uri + "does not have a server-based authority)}} to guard against accidental invocation in the future. Then back in {{TokenCache.obtainTokensForNamenodesInternal}}, add: {code} if (fs.getUri().getAuthority() == null) continue; {code} Otherwise the empty string would cause it to go through the machinations of trying to get a token. (Note: the need for this check should soon go away because the fixing of token renewal causes the {{TokenCache}} to only request tokens for a {{FileSystem}} that implements tokens) > wordcount, sort etc on har files fails with NPE > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7602 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7602 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 0.20.206.0 > Reporter: John George > Assignee: John George > Fix For: 0.20.205.0 > > Attachments: hadoop-7602.patch > > > wordcount, sort etc on har files fails with > NPE@createSocketAddr(NetUtils.java:137). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
