Chris Nauroth created HDFS-8290: ----------------------------------- Summary: WebHDFS calls before namesystem initialization can cause NullPointerException. Key: HDFS-8290 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8290 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: webhdfs Affects Versions: 2.6.0 Reporter: Chris Nauroth Assignee: Chris Nauroth Priority: Minor
The NameNode has a brief window of time when the HTTP server has been initialized, but the namesystem has not been initialized. During this window, a WebHDFS call can cause a {{NullPointerException}}. We can catch this condition and return a more meaningful error. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
