eBugs in Cloud Systems updated HDFS-14472:
------------------------------------------
Description:
Dear HDFS developers, we are developing a tool to detect exception-related bugs
in Java. Our prototype has spotted the following {{throw}} statement whose
exception class and error message seem to indicate different error conditions.
Version: Hadoop-3.1.2
File:
HADOOP-ROOT/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/tools/offlineImageViewer/FSImageHandler.java
Line: 179-180
{code:java}
throw new FileNotFoundException("Path: " + path + " should " +
"start with " + WEBHDFS_PREFIX);{code}
A {{FileNotFoundException}} means that a target file cannot be found. However,
the error message indicates that the path is malformed (instead of well-formed
but pointing to no file). Will this mismatch be a problem? For example, the
callers trying to handle other {{FileNotFoundException}} may accidentally (and
incorrectly) handle the malformed path.

Dear HDFS developers, we are developing a tool to detect exception-related bugs

exception class and error message seem to indicate different error conditions.
Since we are not very familiar with HDFS's internal work flow, could you please
help us verify if this is a bug, i.e., will the callers have trouble handling
the exception, and will the users/admins have trouble diagnosing the failure?
