Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5687: ---------------------------------------- Linking to my duplicate bugrep # my code adds a check for {{FileSystem.getDefaultUri(conf)}} being null, that could go in on top of what is checked in. It's unlikely, but if you try hard enough, it happens. # some tests for this would be lightweight and fast. I will try to write them. > 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 > Assignee: Philip Zeyliger > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-5687-v3.patch, HADOOP-5687-v4.patch, > HADOOP-5687-v5.patch, HADOOP-5687-v5.patch, 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.
