> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-695
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-695
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: contrib/streaming
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Hairong Kuang
> Assigned To: Hairong Kuang
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
> Attachments: NPE.patch
>
>
> For some reason that I do not have much idea, if input of a map/reduce job is
> gzipped, an unexpected null pointer may be returned from
> UTF8ByteArrayUtils.readline in the next method of StreamLineRecordReader.
> However the pointer is read before a null pointer check is performed. Thus a
> NPE may be thrown and fail the job.
