[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8436) NPE In getLocalPathForWrite ( path, conf ) when dfs.client.buffer.dir not configured

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8436?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13283188#comment-13283188 ] 

Brahma Reddy Battula commented on HADOOP-8436:
----------------------------------------------


{code}
String newLocalDirs = conf.get(contextCfgItemName);
if (!newLocalDirs.equals(savedLocalDirs)) {
				int minDiskFreeThresholdMb = conf.getInt("hadoop.min.local.disk.freespace.threshold", 1024);
{code}

Here newLocalDirs will become null and it'll throw NPE..

I did fix like this..

{code}
  String newLocalDirs = conf.get(contextCfgItemName);
			if (null == newLocalDirs) {
				throw new IOException("dfs.client.buffer.dir not configured");
			}
      if (!newLocalDirs.equals(savedLocalDirs) ) {
        localDirs = StringUtils.getTrimmedStrings(newLocalDirs);
{code}
