Retrying socket connection failure times can be made as configurable --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7086 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7086 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: conf Affects Versions: 0.21.0 Environment: NA Reporter: Devaraj K Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.22.0 Retrying socket connection failure times are hard coded as 45 and it is giving the retryring message for 45 times as below. 2011-01-04 15:14:30,700 INFO ipc.Client (Client.java:handleConnectionFailure(487)) - Retrying connect to server: /10.18.52.124:50020. Already tried 1 time(s). This can be made as configurable and also we can keep the default value as 45. If the user wants to decrease/increase, they can add this configurable property otherwise it can continue with the default value. common\src\java\org\apache\hadoop\ipc\Client.java: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- private synchronized void setupConnection() throws IOException { short ioFailures = 0; short timeoutFailures = 0; while (true) { try { this.socket = socketFactory.createSocket(); this.socket.setTcpNoDelay(tcpNoDelay); // connection time out is 20s NetUtils.connect(this.socket, remoteId.getAddress(), 20000); if (rpcTimeout > 0) { pingInterval = rpcTimeout; // rpcTimeout overwrites pingInterval } this.socket.setSoTimeout(pingInterval); return; } catch (SocketTimeoutException toe) { /* * The max number of retries is 45, which amounts to 20s*45 = 15 * minutes retries. */ handleConnectionFailure(timeoutFailures++, 45, toe); } catch (IOException ie) { handleConnectionFailure(ioFailures++, maxRetries, ie); } } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
