>                 Key: PARQUET-145
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-145
>             Project: Parquet
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: parquet-mr
>    Affects Versions: parquet-mr_1.6.0
>            Reporter: wolfgang hoschek
>
> InternalParquetRecordReader.close() currently throws a NullPointerException 
> if initialize() didn't succeed and hence the "reader" remains null. 
> This NPE happens with client usage idioms like this:
> {code}
> AvroParquetReader reader = ...
> try {
>        // read some parquet data
> } finally {
>   if (reader != null) { reader.close(); }
> }
> {code}
> I believe close() should read as follows:
> {code}
> public void close() throws IOException {
>     if (reader != null) {
>       reader.close();
>     }
>   }
> {code}
> Thoughts?
