----------------------------
Summary: ReusableStreamGzipCodec NPE upon reset with IBM JDK
Key: HBASE-7145
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7145
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.94.0
Reporter: Yu Li
This is the same issue as described in HADOOP-8419, repeat the issue
description here:
The ReusableStreamGzipCodec will NPE upon reset after finish when the native
zlib codec is not loaded. When the native zlib is loaded the codec creates a
CompressorOutputStream that doesn't have the problem, otherwise, the
ReusableStreamGzipCodec uses GZIPOutputStream which is extended to provide the
resetState method. Since IBM JDK 6 SR9 FP2 including the current JDK 6 SR10,
GZIPOutputStream#finish will release the underlying deflater(calls the
deflater's end method), which causes NPE upon reset. This seems to be an IBM
JDK quirk as Sun JDK and OpenJDK doesn't have this issue.
Since in HBASE-5387 HBase source has refactor its code not to use hadoop's
GzipCodec during real compress/decompress, it's necessary to make a separate
patch for HBase on the same issue
