The NameNode crashes and can not be restarted. After some research, we turned on debug log of org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.StateChange, restart the NN, and we saw the following exception which induced NPE:

The exception is thrown, caught and logged at debug level in {{FSDirectory#unprotectedAddFile}}. Afterwards, a null is returned, which is used and subsequently caused NPE. HDFS-7567 reported a similar bug, but it was deemed the NPE could only be thrown if edit is corrupt. However, here we see an example where NPE could be thrown without corrupt edits.

Looks like the maximum number of items per directory is exceeded. This is similar to HDFS-6102 and HDFS-7482, but this happens at loading edits, rather than loading fsimage. 

A possible workaround is to increas the value of {{dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-directory-items}} to 6400000. But I am not sure if it would cause any side effects.
