rajeshbabu commented on HBASE-9847:
-----------------------------------
{code}
public HTableDescriptor[] listTables() throws IOException {
if (this.master == null) {
this.master = getMaster();
}
HTableDescriptor[] htd = master.getHTableDescriptors();
return htd;
}
{code}
The reason for failure is the master object in HConnectionManager pointing to
dead master and we are trying to get table descriptors from that because master
is not null. We need to check whether master is running or not(The check is
there in getMaster() call). So the null condition is not there.
Thanks [~pankaj2461] for finding this. You can give patch. This issue present
in 0.94 version or less.
