Ted Yu commented on HBASE-20928: -------------------------------- Please checkout new javac warnings. > Rewrite calculation of midpoint in binarySearch functions to prevent overflow > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-20928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20928 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: io > Reporter: saurabh singh > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HBASE-20928-fix-binarySearch-v5.patch > > > There are couple of issues in the function: > * {{>>>}} operator would mess the values if {{low}} + {{high}} end up being > negative. This shouldn't happen but I don't see anything to prevent this from > happening. > * The code fails around boundary values of {{low}} and {{high}}. This is a > well known binary search catch. > [https://ai.googleblog.com/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-nearly.html] > > Most of the code should already be covered by tests. I would have liked to > add a test that actually fails without the fix but given these are private > methods I am not sure on the best place to add the test.
