             Summary: CheckAndMutate will encouter NPE if qualifier to check is 
null
                 Key: HBASE-15616
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15616
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Client
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Jianwei Cui


If qualifier to check is null, the checkAndMutate/checkAndPut/checkAndDelete 
will encounter NPE.
The test code:
{code}
table.checkAndPut(row, family, null, Bytes.toBytes(0), new 
Put(row).addColumn(family, null, Bytes.toBytes(1)));
{code}
The exception:
{code}

{code}
The reason is {{LiteralByteString.size()}} will throw NPE if wrapped byte array 
is null. It is possible to invoke {{put}} and {{checkAndMutate}} on the same 
column, because null qualifier is allowed for {{Put}},  users may be confused 
if null qualifier is not allowed for {{checkAndMutate}}. We can also convert 
null qualifier to empty byte array for {{checkAndMutate}} in client side. 
Discussions and suggestions are welcomed.
