Todd Lipcon created HADOOP-8397: ----------------------------------- Summary: NPE thrown when IPC layer gets an EOF reading a response Key: HADOOP-8397 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8397 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: ipc Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Priority: Critical
When making a call on an IPC connection where the other end has shut down, I see the following exception: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.receiveResponse(Client.java:852) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.run(Client.java:781) from the lines: {code} RpcResponseHeaderProto response = RpcResponseHeaderProto.parseDelimitedFrom(in); int callId = response.getCallId(); {code} This is because parseDelimitedFrom() returns null in the case that the next thing to be read on the stream is an EOF. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
