[jira] Created: (HADOOP-4476) NPE in datanode.handshake()
NPE in datanode.handshake()
---------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4476
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4476
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug

Affects Versions: 0.20.0
Reporter: Steve Loughran
Priority: Minor
It appears possible to raise an NPE in DataNode.handshake() if the startup protocol gets interrupted or fails in some manner

[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4476) NPE in datanode.handshake()
Posted by "Steve Loughran (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4476:
----------------------------------------
stack trace
{code}
[sf-startdaemon-debug] java.lang.NullPointerException
[sf-startdaemon-debug] at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode.handshake(DataNode.java:443)
[sf-startdaemon-debug] at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode.startDataNode(DataNode.java:302)
{code}
The line at fault is
{code}
if( ! nsInfo.getBuildVersion().equals( Storage.getBuildVersion() ))
{code}
At a guess, the getBuildVersion() value is null, which implies the handshaking failed; the datanode was still handshaking when shouldRun was set to false, it stopped spinning trying to talk to the namenode, and instead of checking for shouldRun==true and bailing out, it assumed the handshake information had been correctly received.

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4476:
----------------------------------------
Also, at this point in datanode startup, the nameNodeAddr value hasnt been assigned to the static field {{DataNode.nameNodeAddr = nameNodeAddr;}}, so getNameNodeAddr() returns null; not so good for logging/error messages that exist in this method.
