Ahmed Hussein created HDFS-15628: ------------------------------------ Summary: https throws NPE if a file is a symlink Key: HDFS-15628 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15628 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: fs, httpfs Reporter: Ahmed Hussein Assignee: Ahmed Hussein
If a directory containing a symlink is listed, the client (WebHfdsFileSystem) blows up with a NPE. If {{type}} is {{SYMLINK}}, there must be {{symlink}} field whose value is the link target string. HttpFS returns a response without {{symlink}} filed. {{WebHfdsFileSystem}} assumes it is there for a symlink and blindly tries to parse it, causing NPE. This is not an issue if the destination cluster does not have symlinks enabled. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
