Dapeng Sun commented on SENTRY-1184:
------------------------------------
Hi [~sravya], the {{java.lang.NullPointerException}} is occurred at [571 for
(Entry e : eSet)
{|https://github.com/cloudera/sentry/blob/cdh5-1.5.1_5.5.2/sentry-hdfs/sentry-hdfs-common/src/main/java/org/apache/sentry/hdfs/HMSPaths.java#L571].
I found {{deletePathsFromAuthzObject(oldName, pathElemsAsList);}} at line 560
and {{addPathsToAuthzObject(oldName, pathElemsAsList);}} at line 565 are both
checked {{if (entries != null) {}}.
And according the code, if {{if (isUnderPrefix(newPath)}} at line 566 is true,
the {{eSet}} shouldn't be null. I guess it may be happened at the rename
operation of {{NotUnderPrefix path}}(external table?). And we may also have a
check at the value of property
{{sentry.authorization-provider.hdfs-path-prefixes}}.
I will also upload a simple patch to fix it.
