> When making a call on an IPC connection where the other end has shut down, I see the following exception:
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
>         at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.receiveResponse(Client.java:852)
>         at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.run(Client.java:781)
> from the lines:
> {code}
>         RpcResponseHeaderProto response = 
>             RpcResponseHeaderProto.parseDelimitedFrom(in);
>         int callId = response.getCallId();
> {code}
> This is because parseDelimitedFrom() returns null in the case that the next thing to be read on the stream is an EOF.
