The patch is ready (but without the change on item 3) and UT is being verified. > Return a default SectionName to avoid NPE > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-14172 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14172 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Xiang Li > Assignee: Xiang Li > Priority: Minor > > In FSImageFormatProtobuf.SectionName#fromString(), as follows: > {code:java} > public static SectionName fromString(String name) { > for (SectionName n : values) { > if (n.name.equals(name)) > return n; > } > return null; > } > {code} > When the code meets an unknown section from the fsimage, the function will > return null.
