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

             Summary: FSImageHandler.getPath() throws a FileNotFoundException 
when the path is malformed
                 Key: HDFS-14472
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14472
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: eBugs in Cloud Systems


Dear HDFS developers, we are developing a tool to detect exception-related bugs 
in Java. Our prototype has spotted the following {{throw}} statement whose 
exception class and error message seem to indicate different error conditions. 
Since we are not very familiar with HDFS's internal work flow, could you please 
help us verify if this is a bug, i.e., will the callers have trouble handling 
the exception, and will the users/admins have trouble diagnosing the failure?

 

Version: Hadoop-3.1.2

File: 
HADOOP-ROOT/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/tools/offlineImageViewer/FSImageHandler.java

Line: 179-180
{code:java}
throw new FileNotFoundException("Path: " + path + " should " +
        "start with " + WEBHDFS_PREFIX);{code}
Reason: A {{FileNotFoundException}} means that a target file cannot be found. 
However, the error message indicates that the path is malformed (instead of 
well-formed but pointing to no file). Will this mismatch be a problem? For 
example, will the callers try to handle other {{FileNotFoundException}} 
accidentally (and incorrectly) handle the malformed path?
