-----------------------------
Assignee: lujie
> Two Potential NPE
> ------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-20419
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20419
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1, 2.0.0-beta-2, 1.1.13
> Reporter: lujie
> Assignee: lujie
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: HBASE-20419.v3.patch, HBASE-20419_1.patch,
> HBASE-20419_2.patch
>
>
> We have developed a static analysis tool
> [NPEDetector|https://github.com/lujiefsi/NPEDetector] to find some potential
> NPE. Our analysis shows that some callees may return null in corner case(e.g.
> node crash , IO exception), some of their callers have _!=null_ check but
> some do not have. For example:
> Callee ZKUtil#listChildrenAndWatchForNewChildren may return null, it has 8
> callers, 6 of the caller have null checker like:
> {code:java}
> List<String> children = ZKUtil.listChildrenAndWatchForNewChildren(zkw,
> zkw.znodePaths.rsZNode);
> if (children == null) {
> return Collections.emptyList();
> }
> {code}
> but another two callers do not have null
> checker:RSGroupInfoManagerImpl#retrieveGroupListFromZookeeper,ZKProcedureMemberRpcs#watchForAbortedProcedures.
>
> We attach the patch to fix this problem.
