Xiaoyu Yao commented on HDFS-11362:
-----------------------------------

[~hanishakoneru], thanks for reporting the issue and post the fix. The patch 
looks good to me overall. I just have one suggestion:

Is it possible to avoid the null check by ensuring that 
StorageDirecotry#getStorageDirType never returns null?
For example, we can set a default value of StorageDirectory#dirType to 
NameNodeDirType#UNDEFINED if it is not assigned in the constructor? 

> Storage#shouldReturnNextDir should check for null dirType

> {noformat}
> There is a possibility that sd.getStorageDirType() returns null (default 
> dirType is null). Hence, before checking for type match, we should make sure 
> that the value returned by sd.getStorageDirType() is not null.
