The issue is caused when > {code:java} > public void run(SourceContext<OUT> ctx) throws Exception { > try { > ... > while (isRunning) { > format.open(splitIterator.next()); > ... > } finally { > format.close(); > ... > } > {code} > in file {{InputFormatSourceFunction.java}} which calls > {code:java} > public void close() throws IOException { > // enforce sequential close() calls > synchronized (CLOSE_MUTEX) { > this.recordReader.close(); > } > } > {code} > from {{HadoopInputFormatBase.java}}. > As there is just this one implementation of the {{close()}} method it may be > enough just to add a null check for the {{this.recordReader}} in there. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
