[jira] [Created] (HDFS-6305) WebHdfs response decoding may throw RuntimeExceptions

Daryn Sharp created HDFS-6305:
---------------------------------

             Summary: WebHdfs response decoding may throw RuntimeExceptions
                 Key: HDFS-6305
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6305
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: webhdfs
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0
            Reporter: Daryn Sharp
            Assignee: Daryn Sharp
            Priority: Critical


WebHdfs does not guard against exceptions while decoding the response payload.  The json parser will throw RunTime exceptions on malformed responses.  The json decoding routines do not validate the expected fields are present which may cause NPEs.
