Fix NullPointerException when certain File APIs return null
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1934
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1934
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0, 0.23.0
Reporter: Bharath Mundlapudi
Assignee: Bharath Mundlapudi
Fix For: 0.20.205.0, 0.23.0
While testing Disk Fail Inplace, We encountered the NPE from this part of the
code.
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (File f : files) {
...
}
This is kinda of an API issue. When a disk is bad (or name is not a directory),
this API (listFiles, list) return null rather than throwing an exception. This
'for loop' throws a NPE exception. And same applies to dir.list() API.
Fix all the places where null condition was not checked.
