Chengbing Liu commented on HDFS-8113:
-------------------------------------

[~vinayrpet] Actually, whenever I start the problematic DataNode, NPE happens 
in every block report. That doesn't seem to be a transient problem as you have 
mentioned. Is it possible that the file is deleted without removal of the 
blocks?

> NullPointerException in BlockInfoContiguous causes block report failure
