Yi kaifei commented on RANGER-3108:
-----------------------------------
[~rmani] Shall we cherry-pick this patch to version 2.3.0 ? Currently, we use
logback instead of log4j, it default log level is debug, this NPE is easy to
trigger
> NPE in RangerPolicyRepository.init

> (6 days ago as of writing this), while the Ranger code Kudu-side hasn't been
> touched recently at all, leading me to suspect this being a Ranger plugin
> issue rather than improper use of the plugin on our end.
> The failing Kudu test can be found
> [here|https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/master/src/kudu/ranger/ranger_client-test.cc#L405].
> The gist of the test is that it starts a Ranger server, creates a simple
> policy, and tries to authorize some requests by sending requests over a named
> pipe to a Java process that runs a long-lived Ranger plugin (the first of
> which fails, presumably because of this NPE).
