             Summary: BlockPlacementPolicyDefault will cause NN shutdown if log 
level is changed
                 Key: HDFS-12416
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12416
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: block placement
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha3, 2.7.4
            Reporter: Suhan Mao


In BlockPlacementPolicyDefault.chooseRandom method.
The code are in below structure:
{code:java}
StringBuilder builder = null;
    if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
      builder = debugLoggingBuilder.get();
      builder.setLength(0);
      builder.append("[");
    }
while(numOfReplicas > 0){
chooseDataNode(scope, excludedNodes)
if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
        builder.append("\nNode ").append(NodeBase.getPath(chosenNode))
            .append(" [");
      }
}
{code}

There's a possibility that the loglevel is INFO before entering while loop, but 
the loglevel is changed to DEBUG inside the loop through web UI.
In that case, builder is not initialized in the beginning and 
NullPointerException will throw and this will cause NN exiting.
