Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-4006:
-----------------------------------
Actually in this test case, we don't start the checkpoint daemon thread at all.
So it must be that we have some earlier test case which isn't joining on the
checkpoint thread -- then the thread keeps running and fails during this test
case when the setup() method blows away its storage underneath it. Will look at
the other test methods to see if one of them is leaking a checkpointer thread.

> TestCheckpoint#testSecondaryHasVeryOutOfDateImage occasionally fails due to
> unexpected exit, due to an NPE while checkpointing. It looks like the
> background checkpoint fails, conflicts with the explicit checkpoints done by
> the tests (note the backtrace is not for the doCheckpoint calls in the tests.
