Yongjun Zhang created HDFS-8396: ----------------------------------- Summary: NPE exception can be thrown in DatanodeManager#sortLocatedBlocks Key: HDFS-8396 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8396 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Yongjun Zhang Assignee: Yongjun Zhang
{DNSToSwitchMapping#resolve}} could return null, thus causing {{DatanodeManager#sortLocatedBlocks}} to throw NPE, because of its call to {{String rName = dnsToSwitchMapping.resolve(hosts).get(0);}} The real failure reason is not obvious to user. Creating this jira to make the error reporting more user friendly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
