John George commented on HADOOP-7602:
-------------------------------------

> 
> If {{buildDTServiceAuthority}} ever returns an empty string, then the token 
> is 
> rendered useless.  The logs will show that a token was acquired, but 
> connections will mysteriously fail because an empty string doesn't match the 
> address of the connection.

The logs are buggy then?

> 
> The 1-line fix for the real problem is equally as minimal as reintroducing a 
> bug to mask another bug.

What you are saying here "might" be true, but my point is that in a sustaining 
release, it is better to minimize changes to known issues (as opposed to fixing 
everything around it) - just because it is safer that way.  

Having said that, I will still upload another patch with the changes you 
suggested

> wordcount, sort etc on har files fails with NPE
