Suhan Mao created HDFS-12416: -------------------------------- Summary: BlockPlacementPolicyDefault will cause NN shutdown if log level is changed Key: HDFS-12416 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12416 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: block placement Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha3, 2.7.4 Reporter: Suhan Mao
In BlockPlacementPolicyDefault.chooseRandom method. The code are in below structure: {code:java} StringBuilder builder = null; if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) { builder = debugLoggingBuilder.get(); builder.setLength(0); builder.append("["); } while(numOfReplicas > 0){ chooseDataNode(scope, excludedNodes) if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) { builder.append("\nNode ").append(NodeBase.getPath(chosenNode)) .append(" ["); } } {code} There's a possibility that the loglevel is INFO before entering while loop, but the loglevel is changed to DEBUG inside the loop through web UI. In that case, builder is not initialized in the beginning and NullPointerException will throw and this will cause NN exiting. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
