Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-5687: --------------------------------------------- Philip, # I think NPE related to authority = null should be handled in {{NetUtils.createSocketAddr()}}. This is a general problem not just name-node's. # Checking that URI has the hdfs scheme is basically an assert, otherwise this would not be called. But if you want it, could you please #- use {{HDFS_URI_SCHEME}} instead of {{DFS_URI_SCHEME}}, #- and place it in {{FSContants}} rather than {{DistributedFileSystem}} > Hadoop NameNode throws NPE if fs.default.name is the default value > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-5687 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5687 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Reporter: Philip Zeyliger > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HADOOP-5687.patch, HADOOP-5687.patch > > > Throwing NPE is confusing; instead, an exception with a useful string > description could be thrown instead. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
