Konstantin Ryakhovskiy commented on HBASE-27995:
------------------------------------------------
does it make sense to return an empty block instead of null, if there is a
cache miss?
{code:java}
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.bucket.BucketCache.getBlock(BlockCacheKey key,
boolean caching, boolean repeat, boolean updateCacheMetrics){code}
> Missing null check in TestHFile

> Key: HBASE-27995

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: ConfX
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: reproduce.sh
>
>
> h2. What happened
> After setting
> {{{}hbase.lru.blockcache.hard.capacity.limit.factor=-0.4921875{}}}, running
> test
> {{{}org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.TestHFile#testReaderWithAdaptiveLruCombinedBlockCache{}}}results
> in a null pointer exception.
> h2. Where's the problem
> In the test:
> {noformat}
> cachedBlock = combined.getBlock(key, false, false, true);
> try {
> ...
> } finally {
> cachedBlock.release();
> }{noformat}
> However, cacheBlock might not be initialized properly and could be null,
> causing an unhandled NullPointerException.
> h2. How to reproduce
> # set {{hbase.lru.blockcache.hard.capacity.limit.factor}} to {{-0.4921875 }}
> # run
> {{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.TestHFile#testReaderWithAdaptiveLruCombinedBlockCache}}
> you should observe
> {noformat}
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.TestHFile.testReaderCombinedCache(TestHFile.java:1052)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.TestHFile.testReaderWithAdaptiveLruCombinedBlockCache(TestHFile.java:1011){noformat}
> For an easy reproduction, run the reproduce.sh in the attachment.
> We are happy to provide a patch if this issue is confirmed.
