Duo Zhang created HBASE-20624: --------------------------------- Summary: Race in ReplicationSource which causes walEntryFilter being null when creating new shipper Key: HBASE-20624 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20624 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Duo Zhang
We initialize the ReplicationSource in a background thread to avoid blocking the peer modification. And when enqueueLog is called and we want to start a new shipper, we will check whether the replicationEndpoint is initialized, if so, we will start a new shipper. But in the initialize thread, we will initialize walEntryFilter after replicationEndpoint , so it is possible that when we start a new shipper, the walEntryFilter is still null and cause NPE. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
