Liyin Tang updated HBASE-7106:
------------------------------
Description:
In JDK7, it will throw out NPE if put a NULL into a TreeSet. And in the unit
tests, user can add a NULL as qualifier into the family map for GET or SCAN.
So we shall do the followings:
1) Make sure the semantics of NULL column qualifier is equal to that of the
EMPYT_BYTE_ARRAY column qualifier.
2) An easy fix is to use the EMPYT_BYTE_ARRAY qualifier to replace NULL
qualifier in the family map for the GET or SCAN objects, and everything else
shall be backward compatible.
3) Add a jdk option in the pom.xml (Assuming user install the fb packaged jdk)
eg: mvn test -Dtest=TestFromClientSide -Pjdk7
was:In JDK7, it will throw out NPE if put a NULL into a TreeSet. So the easy
fix is to skip putting the NULL qualifier into the family map for the GET and
SCAN objects, and everything else shall be backward compatible.
