Description

When we close the region during split we close all the storefiles readers. At the time of store file reference creation we open the reader to check split row with the store file boundaries. But if skipStoreFileRangeCheck return true then we may not open the reader and it will be null. So getting NPE.

    f.getReader().close(true);
