Ishita Mandhan commented on KAFKA-3940: --------------------------------------- I think we should convert the dir.mkdirs() to Files.createDirectory. I have a patch ready that I can submit and then you can take a look at it and share feedback? I'm not sure what's a better way to collaborate but would be open to trying out a different method. > Log should check the return value of dir.mkdirs() > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3940 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3940 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: log > Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0 > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: Ishita Mandhan > Labels: newbie > > In Log.loadSegments(), we call dir.mkdirs() w/o checking the return value and > just assume the directory will exist after the call. However, if the > directory can't be created (e.g. due to no space), we will hit > NullPointerException in the next statement, which will be confusing. > for(file <- dir.listFiles if file.isFile) { -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
