[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7513) HDFSBlocksDistribution shouldn't send NPEs when something goes wrong

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7513?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13546366#comment-13546366 ] 

Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-7513:
--------------------------------------

+1 I'll get this.  Creating an HDFS Block Distribution shouldn't fail opening a store file.

> So {{hosts}} can exist but we send an NPE anyways? And then this is wrapped in {{Store}} by:
> {code}
> } catch (ExecutionException e) {
>   throw new IOException(e.getCause());
> {code}
> FWIW there's another NPE thrown in {{HDFSBlocksDistribution.addHostAndBlockWeight}} and it looks wrong.
> We should change the code to just skip computing the locality if it's missing and not throw big ugly exceptions. In this case the region would fail opening later anyways but at least the error message will be clearer.
