> While working on HDFS-14564, I noticed that the libhdfs tests are failing on
> trunk (both on Hadoop QA and locally). I did some digging and found out that
> the {{-Xcheck:jni}} flag is causing a bunch of crashes. I haven't been able
> to pinpoint what caused this regression, but my best guess is that an upgrade
> in the JDK we use in Hadoop QA started causing these failures. I looked back
> at some old JIRAs and it looks like the tests work on Java 1.8.0_212, but
> Hadoop QA is running 1.8.0_222 (as is my local env) (I couldn't confirm this
> theory because I'm having trouble getting Java 1.8.0_212 installed next to
> 1.8.0_222 on my Ubuntu machine) (even after re-winding the commit history
> back to a known good commit where the libhdfs passed, the tests still fail,
> so I don't think a code change caused the regressions).
> The failures are a bunch of "FATAL ERROR in native method: Bad global or
> local ref passed to JNI" errors. After doing some debugging, it looks like
> {{-Xcheck:jni}} now errors out if any code tries to pass a local ref to
> {{DeleteLocalRef}} twice (previously it looked like it didn't complain) (we
> have some checks to avoid this, but it looks like they don't work as
> expected).
> There are a few places in the libhdfs code where this pattern causes a crash,
> as well as one place in {{JniBasedUnixGroupsMapping}}.
