Summary: PseudoAuthenticationHandler fails with httpcomponents v4.4 Key: HADOOP-11859 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11859 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Eugene Koifman Assignee: Eugene Koifman This shows in the context of WebHCat and Hive (which recently moved to httpcomponents:httpclient:4.4) but could happen in other places. URLEncodedUtils.parse(String, Charset) which is called from PseudoAuthenticationHandler.getUserName() with the 1st argument produced by HttpServletRequest.getQueryString(). The later returns NULL if there is no query string in the URL. in httpcoponents:httpclient:4.2.5 parse() gracefully handles first argument being NULL, but in 4.4 it NPEs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
