J.Andreina commented on HDFS-9071:
----------------------------------
Thanks [~He Tianyi] for reporting this issue, that was a good catch.
bq. I've observed that chooseTargets in ReplicationWork may pass incomplete
srcPath (not starting with '/') to block placement policy.
I agree .
But i doubt , is there any specific reason for going ahead to choose target (in
ReplicationWork), after finding that srcpath is invalid/null , in the patch ?

> It is possible that srcPath is extensively used in custom placement policy.
