lujie updated KAFKA-6899: ------------------------- Description: We have developed a static analysis tool [NPEDetector|https://github.com/lujiefsi/NPEDetector] to find some potential NPE. Our analysis shows that NPE reason can be simple:some callees may return null directly in corner case(e.g. node crash , IO exception), some of their callers have _!=null_ check but some do not have. *Bug:* callee JaasConfig#getAppConfigurationEntry can return null, it has 13 callers, 11 of the callers have the null check while using the return value, one of them have no checker : {code:java} //caller:KerberosLogin#login() AppConfigurationEntry[] entries = configuration().getAppConfigurationEntry(contextName()); if (entries.length == 0)/may NPE {code} I am not sure whether it is an bug or not, please correct me without any without any hesitation. was: We have developed a static analysis tool [NPEDetector|https://github.com/lujiefsi/NPEDetector] to find some potential NPE.
