Ted Yu updated HBASE-8374:
--------------------------
Attachment: 8374-trunk.txt
I think loc was empty, leading to NPE.
Here is a patch.
> NPE when launching the balance
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-8374
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8374
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Balancer
> Affects Versions: 0.95.0
> Environment: AWS / real cluster with 3 nodes + master
> Reporter: Nicolas Liochon
> Attachments: 8374-trunk.txt
>
>
> I don't reproduce this all the time, but I had it on a fairly clean env.
> It occurs every 5 minutes (i.e. the balancer period). Impact is severe: the
> balancer does not run. When it starts to occurs, it occurs all the time. I
> haven't tried to restart the master, but I think it should be enough.
> Now, looking at the code, the NPE is strange.
