> When testing with miniclusters that shutdown and are restarted, sometimes a 
> call to User.getCurrent().getName() NPEs when attempting to restart hbase.  
> Oddly this happens consistently on particular branches and not on others. I 
> don't know or understand why this happens but it has something to do with the 
> getCurrentUGI call in  o.a.h.h.security.User.HadoopUser sometimes returning 
> null and sometimes returning data.
> {code}
>    private HadoopUser() {
>       try {
>         ugi = (UserGroupInformation) callStatic("getCurrentUGI");
>         if (ugi == null) {
>           LOG.warn("Although successfully retrieved UserGroupInformation" 
>               + "  it was null!");
>         }
>       } catch (RuntimeException re) {

> This patch essentially is a workaround -- it propagates the null so that 
> clients can check and avoid the NPE.
