gharris1727 opened a new pull request, #13294: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/13294
The RestClient accepts a TypeReference argument defining what kind of response to expect from the HTTP request. If these request is expected to result in a 204 no-content, they would previously not provide a TypeReference argument (null). If a request which normally resulted in a 204 returned some other 200 code, then the RestClient would experience an NPE when it tries to deserialize the nonempty response. Instead, we should enforce that the TypeReference is always provided to the RestClient. If we provide a TypeReference<Void> for the calls which do not expect to return content, then if they do receive content, that content will be silently dropped instead of causing an NPE. Adds new tests for enforcing non-null arguments, and confirms the behavior of a TypeReference<Void> call-site receiving a non-empty response. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
