NPE in checkpoint during processIOError()
-----------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2281
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: name-node
Affects Versions: 0.22.0
Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
Fix For: 0.22.0
At the end of checkpoint BackupNode tries to convergeJournalSpool() and calls
revertFileStreams(). The latter closes each file stream, and tries to rename
the corresponding file to its permanent location current/edits. If for any
reason the rename fails processIOError() is called for failed streams.
processIOError() will try to close the stream again and will get NPE in
EditLogFileOutputStream.close() because bufCurrent was set to null by the
previous close.
