-----------------------------------

             Summary: Fix -Xcheck:jni issues in libhdfs, run ctest with 
-Xcheck:jni enabled
                 Key: HDFS-14321
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14321
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: hdfs-client, libhdfs, native
            Reporter: Sahil Takiar
            Assignee: Sahil Takiar


The JVM exposes an option called {{-Xcheck:jni}} which runs various checks 
against JNI usage by applications. Further explanation of this JVM option can 
be found in: 
[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/clopts002.html]
 and 
[https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYKE2_8.0.0/com.ibm.java.vm.80.doc/docs/jni_debug.html].
 When run with this option, the JVM will print out any warnings or errors it 
encounters with the JNI.

We should run the libhdfs tests with {{-Xcheck:jni}} (can be added to 
{{LIBHDFS_OPTS}}) and fix any warnings / errors. We should add this option to 
our ctest runs as well to ensure no regressions are introduced to libhdfs.
