Description

I got this exception using a post-0.15.0 hbase trunk:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HTable.commit(HTable.java:875)
at xxx.PutHbase$HbaseUploader.writeHbaseNoRetry(PutHbase.java:107)

Where writeHbaseNoRetry looks like:

private void writeHbaseNoRetry(HTable table, String column, String row, File contents) throws IOException {
long lockid = table.startUpdate(new Text(row));
try

{ table.put(lockid, new Text(column), FileUtil.readFile(contents)); table.commit(lockid); }

finally

{ table.abort(lockid); }

}

I found this in my error logs – it is rare, and I am not sure how to reproduce it. Contents could be 1kb-100kb long.
