-------------------------------------
Thanks [~surendrasingh] and [~cnauroth], it's indeed a duplicate of HDFS-8055
and thanks [~anu] for the patch.
Very sorry for late response.

> {DNSToSwitchMapping#resolve}} could return null, thus causing
> {{DatanodeManager#sortLocatedBlocks}} to throw NPE, because of its call to
> {{String rName = dnsToSwitchMapping.resolve(hosts).get(0);}}
> The real failure reason is not obvious to user.
> Creating this jira to make the error reporting more user friendly.
