zhihai xu updated HADOOP-12178: ------------------------------- Hadoop Flags: Reviewed > NPE during handling of SASL setup if problem with SASL resolver class > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-12178 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12178 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ipc > Affects Versions: 2.7.1 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Assignee: Steve Loughran > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.8.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-12178-001.patch > > > If there's any problem in the constructor of {{SaslRpcClient}}, then IPC > Client throws an NPE rather than forwarding the stack trace. This is because > the exception handler assumes that {{saslRpcClient}} is not null, that the > exception is related to the SASL setup itself. > The exception handler needs to check for {{saslRpcClient}} being null, and if > so, rethrow the exception -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
