@brettKK I had some trouble with sorting out everything, but managed to
write a unit test.
Not perfect, but could worth to consider adding it.

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-3008
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3008
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.6.0
> Reporter: lujie
> Priority: Major
>
> Inspired by ZK-3006 , I develop a simple static analysis tool to find other
> Potential NPE like ZK-3006. This bug is found by this tool ,and I have
> carefully studied it. But i am a newbie at here so i may be wrong, hope
> someone could confirm it and help me improve this tool.
> h2. Bug description:
> callee :SecurityUtils#createSaslClient will return null while encounter
> exception
> {code:java}
> // code placeholder
> catch (Exception e) {
> LOG.error("Exception while trying to create SASL client", e);
> return null;
> }
> {code}
> but its caller has no null check just like:
> {code:java}
> // code placeholder
> sc = SecurityUtils.createSaslClient();
> if (sc.hasInitialResponse()) {
> responseToken = createSaslToken(new byte[0], sc, learnerLogin);
> }
> {code}
> I think we should add null check in caller while callee return null
