             Summary: HADOOP client IPC layer should differentiate between 
interrupted threads and interrupts occurring during operations
                 Key: HADOOP-9612
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9612
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.5-beta
         Environment: Ubuntu / x86_64
            Reporter: Gopal V
            Assignee: Gopal V
            Priority: Trivial


Hadoop IPC throws misleading wrapped exceptions when operations are performed 
on threads which have already been interrupted.

When a thread is already interrupted, the client IPC throws the following 
exception

{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException:
...
        at org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.wrapException(NetUtils.java:761)
        at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:1270)
        at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:1218)
        at 
org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtobufRpcEngine$Invoker.invoke(ProtobufRpcEngine.java:202)
        at $Proxy9.getBlockLocations(Unknown Source)
{code}

This is completely indistinguishable between a real interruption happening to 
the thread during the client call and very misleading.

Before client calls, it would be prudent to check for the 
currentThread().isInterrupted() flag and throw a different exception to 
indicate the thread was already interrupted before the operation.
