NullPointerException thrown in monitor when visiting the External Compactions page

[DomGarguilo]

Describe the bug When requesting external compaction data from the monitor server, the following code (added in ) is used to memoize and return that data: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/767a68ada50131317e3420dc14780505c523789f/server/monitor/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/monitor/Monitor.java#L686-L711

This code was added in #4867.

Versions (OS, Maven, Java, and others, as appropriate):

• Affected version(s) of this project: 2.1 and up

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior (or a link to an example repository that reproduces the problem):

1. Start an instance of accumulo
2. Go to the external compactions page
3. look at the monitors logs

Here are some portions of the logs:

The following makes it so the exception is not thrown but I'm not sure if this is the best solution:

Looking at the code, that map having a null is valid so I think simply checking for null like the above example (or maybe using Optional) and just setting it to an immutable map should be fine in this case.

@DomGarguilo - can this be closed, or is there more to do?
