Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-487:
--------------------------------
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
Resolution: Fixed
You forgot to mention that you also changed the name of the thread. The thread
name was, long ago, logged with each line, and was crafted to not be overly
long. So this is probably a good change too, but ideally should have been
mentioned.
I just committed this. Thanks, Sameer!

> I'm trying to construct a DistributedFileSystem but I have the wrong hostname.
> It doesn't work. It throws an exception. Fair enough.
> However, it throws a null pointer exception inside
> $Proxy0.getProtocolVersion, the code that checks whether we have the right
> protocol version, rather than giving us any exception we could understand or
> taking an exception in code to which we have sources so we have a way of
> understanding the problem.
