Keith Turner resolved ACCUMULO-740.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Keith Turner

I looked at 1.4, this bug will not occur there.  I do not think it will ever call the function w/ a zero length array.  Code changes for 1.5 introduced the possibility of calling the function with a zero length array.

I do not think this bug fix needs to be back ported to 1.4

> Saw an infinite loop in RFile code when new on demand indexing was turned on and table contained zero length values.  I think this is only an issue in trunk, but need to analyze 1.4 code to make sure it does not happen. 
> The problematic code is 
> {noformat}
> org.apache.accumulo.core.file.rfile.RelativeKey.read(DataInput in, MByteSequence mbseq, int len){...}
> {noformat}
> When the input mbseq is backed by a zero length array, an infinite loop will occur.  Also noticed that the code could overflow the integer and cause an inifinite loop (a key or value > 2^30 would be needed to trigger this).  I suspect 1.4 will never generate an input that will cause the infinite loop, but I am not 100% sure about this.
