Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on HBASE-8374:
--------------------------------------------
Hi Ted,
I'm not sure about your patch.
{code}
+ if (loc.size() > 0) {
+ regionLocations[regionIndex] = new int[loc.size()];
+ for (int i=0; i < loc.size(); i++) {
+ regionLocations[regionIndex][i] =
serversToIndex.get(loc.get(i));
+ }
}
{code}
If loc.size() == 0, then the for loop will never run and the loc.get(i) will
never be called. No? And we know that loc can't be null else the NPE will have
been on loc.size(). So 2 options.
1) log.get(i) returns null and serversToIndex.get(null) give the NPE
2) serversToIndex is null.
I think we are facing #1 here.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Balancer
> Affects Versions: 0.95.0
> Environment: AWS / real cluster with 3 nodes + master

> I don't reproduce this all the time, but I had it on a fairly clean env.
> It occurs every 5 minutes (i.e. the balancer period). Impact is severe: the
> balancer does not run. When it starts to occurs, it occurs all the time. I
> haven't tried to restart the master, but I think it should be enough.
> Now, looking at the code, the NPE is strange.
