Gopal V created HADOOP-9612: ------------------------------- 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
