Ashish Singhi commented on HBASE-16910: --------------------------------------- We faced this issue yesterday in one of our test cluster also which is based on branch-1.0. [~zghaobac], can you provide patch for other branches also. If not let me know I can prepare the patches. Ideally bug fix should go to all the running versions. > Avoid NPE when starting StochasticLoadBalancer > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16910 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16910 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Balancer > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Guanghao Zhang > Assignee: Guanghao Zhang > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-16910-v1.patch, HBASE-16910.patch > > > When master start, it initialize StochasticLoadBalancer. > {code} > this.balancer.setClusterStatus(getClusterStatus()); > this.balancer.setMasterServices(this); > {code} > It first setClusterStatus(), then setMasterService().
