stack commented on HBASE-14501:
-------------------------------

What is TDE?

Return of null trying to parse a KV from stream looks like it has been around 
for a long time moved to KeyValueUtil from KeyValue itself as part of this:

    HBASE-10800 - Use CellComparator instead of KVComparator (Ram)

The comment is:

   * @return Created KeyValue OR if we find a length of zero, we will return
   *         null which can be useful marking a stream as done.

bq. However, the contract for the Decoder.parseCell() is not clear whether 
returning null is acceptable or not. 

It is totally useless. It has no doc. I would think that it should at least 
note that a null could come back but  would imagine as user that you should not 
go in here unless something to parse..... and throw an exception if failed to 
parse... that would be 'cleaner' than what is here now.

bq. The other Decoders (CompressedKvDecoder, CellCodec, etc) do not return null 
while KeyValueCodec does.

This seems like the proper behavior.

On the is.available, that came in here:

    HBASE-7899 Cell block building tools: Cell codec and means of iterating an 
objects Cells

Can you redo your bit about is.available? There are some bits missing which 
makes it hard to read. I think you are trying to say relying on is.available is 
dodgy... which yeah, generally is (though I put it here I believe).

bq. What should be the interface for Decoder.parseCell()? Can it return null?

To be more correct, it should throw an exception but it will probably be highly 
disruptive of current Cell/KV parsing.

bq. How to properly fix BaseDecoder.advance() to not rely on available() call.

I'm not sure how to do this. We want the Interface to be dumb and exist out in 
hbase-common.... IS doesn't have much in it   Could read to EOF I suppose.

This is an ugly one Enis.

> We are seeing a NPE when replication (or in this case async wal replay for 
> region replicas) is run on top of an HDFS cluster with TDE configured.
> This is the stack trace:
> {code}
> java.lang.NullPointerException
>         at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.CellUtil.matchingRow(CellUtil.java:370)
>         at 
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.regionserver.ReplicationSource.countDistinctRowKeys(ReplicationSource.java:649)
>         at 
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.regionserver.ReplicationSource.readAllEntriesToReplicateOrNextFile(ReplicationSource.java:450)
>         at 
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.regionserver.ReplicationSource.run(ReplicationSource.java:346)
> {code}
> This stack trace can only happen if WALEdit.getCells() returns an array 
> containing null entries. I believe this happens due to 
> {{KeyValueCodec.parseCell()}} uses {{KeyValueUtil.iscreate()}} which returns 
> null in case of EOF at the beginning. However, the contract for the 
> Decoder.parseCell() is not clear whether returning null is acceptable or not. 
> The other Decoders (CompressedKvDecoder, CellCodec, etc) do not return null 
> while KeyValueCodec does. 
> BaseDecoder has this code: 
> {code}
>   public boolean advance() throws IOException {
>     if (!this.hasNext) return this.hasNext;
>     if (this.in.available() == 0) {
>       this.hasNext = false;
>       return this.hasNext;
>     }
>     try {
>       this.current = parseCell();
>     } catch (IOException ioEx) {
>       rethrowEofException(ioEx);
>     }
>     return this.hasNext;
>   }
> {code}
> which is not correct since it uses {{IS.available()}} not according to the 
> javadoc: 
> (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html#available()).
>  DFSInputStream implements {{available()}} as the remaining bytes to read 
> from the stream, so we do not see the issue there. 
> {{CryptoInputStream.available()}} does a similar thing but see the issue. 
> So two questions: 
>  - What should be the interface for Decoder.parseCell()? Can it return null? 
>  - How to properly fix  BaseDecoder.advance() to not rely on {{available()}} 
> call.
