Roland von Herget updated HADOOP-8640:
--------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 1.2.1
> DU thread transient failures propagate to callers
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-8640
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8640
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs, io
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 1.2.1
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> When running some stress tests, I saw a failure where the DURefreshThread
> failed due to the filesystem changing underneath it:
> {code}
> org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell$ExitCodeException: du: cannot access
> `/data/4/dfs/dn/current/BP-1928785663-172.20.90.20-1343880685858/current/rbw/blk_4637779214690837894':
> No such file or directory
> {code}
> (the block was probably finalized while the du process was running, which
> caused it to fail)
> The next block write, then, called {{getUsed()}}, and the exception got
> propagated causing the write to fail. Since it was a pseudo-distributed
> cluster, the client was unable to pick a different node to write to and
> failed.
> The current behavior of propagating the exception to the next (and only the
> next) caller doesn't seem well-thought-out.
