eBugs in Cloud Systems updated YARN-9531:
-----------------------------------------
    Description: 
Dear YARN developers, we are developing a tool to detect exception-related bugs 
in Java. Our prototype has spotted the following {{throw}} statement whose 
exception class and error message seem to indicate different error conditions.

 

Version: Hadoop-3.1.2

File: 
HADOOP-ROOT/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server-resourcemanager/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/yarn/server/resourcemanager/scheduler/fair/AllocationFileLoaderService.java

Line: 199-200
{code:java}
throw new RuntimeException("Allocation file " + url
    + " found on the classpath is not on the local filesystem.");{code}
 

{{RuntimeException}} is usually used to represent errors in the program logic 
(think of one of its subclasses, {{NullPointerException}}), while the error 
message indicates that {{getAllocationFile()}} can't find the allocation file 
on the local filesystem. This mismatch could be a problem. For example, the 
callers may miss the case where {{getAllocationFile()}} fails to find the file 
since it does not throw any {{FileNotFoundException}}. Or, the callers trying 
to handle other {{RuntimeException}} may accidentally (and incorrectly) handle 
the file not found scenario. Wrapping a {{FileNotFoundException}} may be better 
here.

since it does not throw any {{FileNotFoundException}}. Or, the callers trying 
to handle other {{RuntimeException}} may accidentally (and incorrectly) handle 
the file not found scenario. Is a {{FileNotFoundException}} better here?
