Ping Liu commented on HBASE-18296: ---------------------------------- [~mdrob] Do you remember which test it is where you found this error? There are many places where HRegionServer starts up. It'll be great if the specific test can be identified. > NPE in ProcedureExecutor.removeChore > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-18296 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18296 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: proc-v2 > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-1 > Reporter: Mike Drob > > Saw this in logs while debugging other failing tests: > {noformat} > 2017-06-29 13:54:15,995 ERROR [M:0;172.18.16.40:55484] > server.NIOServerCnxnFactory$1(44): Thread > Thread[M:0;172.18.16.40:55484,5,FailOnTimeoutGroup] died > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.procedure2.ProcedureExecutor.removeChore(ProcedureExecutor.java:656) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.assignment.AssignmentManager.stop(AssignmentManager.java:233) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.stopServiceThreads(HMaster.java:1154) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer.run(HRegionServer.java:1189) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) > {noformat} > I think it was related to an initialization failure, but we should code more > defensively anyway -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
