Summary: NPE during handling of SASL setup if problem with SASL resolver class Key: HADOOP-12178 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12178 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: ipc Affects Versions: 2.7.1 Reporter: Steve Loughran If there's any problem in the constructor of {{SaslRpcClient}}, then IPC Client throws an NPE rather than forwarding the stack trace. This is because the exception handler assumes that {{saslRpcClient}} is not null, that the exception is related to the SASL setup itself. The exception handler needs to check for {{saslRpcClient}} being null, and if so, rethrow the exception -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
