IPC Client Connection close does not protect against partially Connection
objects
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6914
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6914
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ipc
Affects Versions: 0.20.0
Reporter: Richard Lackey
The purpose of this ticket is to cross-reference hbase-2042, opened 12/12/2009.
close() is used to release Connection resources. It is invoked even though the
Connection object may not have been completely initialized. For example, the
file descriptor ulimit may have been exceeded in which case no socket would
have been acquired. The result would be an NPE in close. The implied contract
for close() seems to be that it will never fail.
There is a proposed patch in the hbase-2042 ticket.
