             Summary: HadoopInputFormat throws NPE when close() is called 
before open()
                 Key: FLINK-5518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5518
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Batch Connectors and Input/Output Formats
    Affects Versions: 1.1.4
            Reporter: Jakub Havlik


When developing a simple Flink applications reading ORC files it crashes with 
NullPointerException when number of instances/executor threads is higher then 
the number of files because it is trying to close a HadoopInputFormat which is 
trying to close RecordReader which was not yet initialized as there is no file 
for which it should have been opened. The issue is caused when
{code:java}
public void run(SourceContext<OUT> ctx) throws Exception {
    try {
...
        while (isRunning) {
            format.open(splitIterator.next());
...
    } finally {
        format.close();
...
    }
{code}
in file {{InputFormatSourceFunction.java}} which calls
{code:java}
public void close() throws IOException {

                // enforce sequential close() calls
                synchronized (CLOSE_MUTEX) {
                        this.recordReader.close();
                }
        }
{code}
from {{HadoopInputFormatBase.java}}.

As there is just this one implementation of the {{close()}} method it may be 
enough just to add a null check for the {{this.recordReader}} in there.
