> During initialization, ZKFCRpcServer refreshes the service authorization ACL 
> for the service handled by this server if config 
> hadoop.security.authorization is enabled, by calling refreshServiceAcl with 
> the input PolicyProvider and Configuration.
> {code:java}
> ZKFCRpcServer(Configuration conf,
>  InetSocketAddress bindAddr,
>  ZKFailoverController zkfc,
>  PolicyProvider policy) throws IOException {
>  this.server = ...
>  
>  // set service-level authorization security policy
>  if (conf.getBoolean(
>  CommonConfigurationKeys.HADOOP_SECURITY_AUTHORIZATION, false)) {
>  server.refreshServiceAcl(conf, policy);
>  }
> }{code}
> refreshServiceAcl calls 
> ServiceAuthorizationManager#refreshWithLoadedConfiguration which directly 
> gets services from the provider with provider.getServices(). When the 
> provider is NULL, the code throws NPE without an informative message. In 
> addition, the default value of config 
> `hadoop.security.authorization.policyprovider` (which controls PolicyProvider 
> here) is NULL and the only usage of ZKFCRpcServer initializer provides only 
> an abstract method getPolicyProvider which does not enforce that 
> PolicyProvider should not be NULL.
> The suggestion here is to either add a guard check or exception handling with 
> an informative logging message on ZKFCRpcServer to handle input 
> PolicyProvider being NULL.
>  
> I am very happy to provide a patch for it if the issue is confirmed :)
