             Summary: HadoopInputFormat throws NPE when close() is called before open()
                 Key: FLINK-5518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5518
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Batch Connectors and Input/Output Formats
    Affects Versions: 1.1.4
            Reporter: Jakub Havlik


When developing a simple Flink applications reading ORC files it crashes with NullPointerException when number of instances/executor threads is higher then the number of files because it is trying to close a HadoopInputFormat which is trying to close RecordReader which was not yet initialized as there is no file for which it should have been opened. The issue is caused when
{code:java}
public void run(SourceContext<OUT> ctx) throws Exception {
    try {
...
        while (isRunning) {
	    format.open(splitIterator.next());
...
    } finally {
	format.close();
...
    }
{code}
in file {{InputFormatSourceFunction.java}} which calls
{code:java}
public void close() throws IOException {

		// enforce sequential close() calls
		synchronized (CLOSE_MUTEX) {
			this.recordReader.close();
		}
	}
{code}
from {{HadoopInputFormatBase.java}}.

As there is just this one implementation of the {{close()}} method it may be enough just to add a null check for the {{this.recordReader}} in there.
