[jira] [Created] (FLUME-1892) IRC Sink NPE

Jeff Collell created FLUME-1892:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: IRC Sink NPE
                 Key: FLUME-1892
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1892
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Docs, Sinks+Sources
         Environment: Ubuntu 12.10
            Reporter: Jeff Collell
            Priority: Minor


IRCSink.java does not initialize splitlines to a default value if it is not contained in the config. It does check if splitChars is NULL, and initialize it to the default constant, but it does not do so for splitlines.

The user guide found [here|http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#irc-sink] does show that splitlines has no default value, but it is not bold (indicating it must be defined in the config).

Obviously if splitlines is not configured, you'll get a NPE when sendLine is called, since it does not check for NULL values either.
