[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2022) NPE in housekeeping kills RS

["Jean-Daniel Cryans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2022?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12784331#action_12784331 ] 

Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-2022:
-------------------------------------------

It seems that in HRS.Worker.run() we already handle that case:

{code}

e = toDo.poll(threadWakeFrequency, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
if(e == null || stopRequested.get()) {
  continue;
}

{code}

Then we should just check for null in housekeeping.

> This reminds me of HBASE-1386 and in fact this could be the same issue (but I can't confirm). Searching on the web gives me some hits and this is particularly interesting http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5379669
