-----------------------------------------

             Summary: WebHDFS throws NullPointerException if newLength is not 
provided
                 Key: HDFS-9302
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9302
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HDFS
    Affects Versions: 2.7.1
         Environment: Centos6
            Reporter: Karthik Palaniappan
            Priority: Minor


$ curl -X POST "http://namenode:50070/webhdfs/v1/foo?op=truncate";
{"RemoteException":{"exception":"NullPointerException","javaClassName":"java.lang.NullPointerException","message":null}}

We should change newLength to be a required parameter in the webhdfs 
documentation 
(https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#New_Length),
 and throw an IllegalArgumentException if isn't provided.
