lujie created KAFKA-6899: ---------------------------- Summary: An Potential NPE Key: KAFKA-6899 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6899 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: lujie
We have developed a static analysis tool [NPEDetector|https://github.com/lujiefsi/NPEDetector] to find some potential NPE. Our analysis shows that some callees may return null in corner case(e.g. node crash , IO exception), some of their callers have _!=null_ check but some do not have. *Bug:* callee JaasConfig#getAppConfigurationEntry can return null, it has 13 callers, 11 of the callers have the null checker while using the return value, 2 of them have no checker : {code:java} //caller1:KerberosLogin#login(Stirng, callback) AppConfigurationEntry entries[] = Configuration.getConfiguration().getAppConfigurationEntry(loginContextName); for (AppConfigurationEntry entry: entries) {}//may NPE //caller2:KerberosLogin#login() AppConfigurationEntry[] entries = configuration().getAppConfigurationEntry(contextName()); if (entries.length == 0)/may NPE {code} I am not sure these two are bug o or not, please correct me without any without any hesitation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
