-------------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException in watcher of nullNamespace
                 Key: CURATOR-626
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-626
             Project: Apache Curator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Framework
    Affects Versions: 5.2.0
            Reporter: Viktor Feklin


NPE processing lock released event:
{code:java}
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
    at java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.screenExecutor(CompletableFuture.java:415)
    at java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.runAsync(CompletableFuture.java:1871)

Steps to reproduce:
{code:java}
InterProcessMutex lock = new InterProcessMutex(curatorFramework.usingNamespace(null), path);
lock.acquire();{code}
If lock is holded by another process (at the moment of call) - we will never acquire it (after lock was released by holder) because notification event lost while processing on watcher.

The root cause of bug - is wrong init code of СuratorFrameworkImpl:
{code:java}
public CuratorFrameworkImpl(CuratorFrameworkFactory.Builder builder)
{
    .... 
    failedDeleteManager = new FailedDeleteManager(this);
    failedRemoveWatcherManager = new FailedRemoveWatchManager(this);
    
    // here you pass not fully initialized instance (this)
    namespaceFacadeCache = new NamespaceFacadeCache(this);

    ensembleTracker = zk34CompatibilityMode ? null : new EnsembleTracker(this, builder.getEnsembleProvider());

    runSafeService = makeRunSafeService(builder);
} {code}
In NamespaceFacadeCache:
{code:java}
NamespaceFacadeCache(CuratorFrameworkImpl client)
{
    this.client = client;
    // here you create facade for null namespace based on not fully initialized client 
    nullNamespace = new NamespaceFacade(client, null);
} {code}
NamespaceFacade - clones client fields, but not all fields initialized at this moment:

ensembleTracker  and runSafeService - are both nulls

So then we use null namespace - we use this broken client and get NPE on access this null fields (se stacktrace).

Fix is very easy:
{code:java}
public CuratorFrameworkImpl(CuratorFrameworkFactory.Builder builder)
{
    ...
    failedDeleteManager = new FailedDeleteManager(this);
    failedRemoveWatcherManager = new FailedRemoveWatchManager(this);

    ensembleTracker = zk34CompatibilityMode ? null : new EnsembleTracker(this, builder.getEnsembleProvider());

    runSafeService = makeRunSafeService(builder);
    
    // initialization of cache should be the last operation in init method (all fields are initialized)
    namespaceFacadeCache = new NamespaceFacadeCache(this);
}  {code}
