Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-6028: ---------------------------------------- the line in question is part of the split up of the path {code} static byte[][] getPathComponents(String path) { return getPathComponents(getPathNames(path)); //in getPathComponents } {code} {{getPathNames()}} returns null if the input is bad, but getPathComponents(String[]) assumes that the array is always non-null. Presumably this could be unit tested fairly easily, it all being static path parsing work. > NPE server side when getting http://namenode/fileChecksum/* > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-6028 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6028 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.21.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Priority: Minor > > when using http://namenode/fileChecksum/* to see if the checksum servlet is > live, I see an NPE message client side, and a stack trace on the namenode -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
