Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-8827:
---------------------------------
Thanks for identifying the problem Fukudome-san! I took a quick look and the
root cause doesn't seem straightforward.
Do you mind creating a unit test generating the issue so we can all debug on
the same basis? Thanks much!

> In our test cluster, when namenode processed over replicated striped blocks,
> null pointer exception(NPE) occurred. This happened under below situation: 1)
> some datanodes shutdown. 2) namenode recovers block group which lost internal
> blocks. 3) restart the stopped datanodes. 4) namenode processes over
> replicated striped blocks. 5) NPE occurs
> I think BlockPlacementPolicyDefault#chooseReplicaToDelete will return null in
> this situation which causes this NPE problem.
