Konstantin Shvachko updated HDFS-2281: -------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed] Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) I just committed this. Thank you Uma. > 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 > Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: BN-bug-NPE.txt, HDFS-2281.1.patch, HDFS-2281.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
