Wei-Chiu Chuang updated HADOOP-16836:
-------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 3.3.0
> Bug in widely-used helper function caused valid configuration value to fail
> on multiple tests, causing build failure

> Key: HADOOP-16836
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16836
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: common
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0, 3.2.1
> Reporter: Ctest
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: configuration, easyfix, patch, test
> Attachments: HADOOP-16836-000.patch, HADOOP-16836-000.patch

> Test helper function
> `org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TestTFileByteArrays#readRecords(org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem,
> org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path, int, org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration)`
> (abbreviate as `readRecords()` below) are called in 4 actively-used tests
> below:
>
> {code:java}
> org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TestTFileStreams#testOneEntryMixedLengths1
> org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TestTFileStreams#testOneEntryUnknownLength
> org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TestTFileLzoCodecsStreams#testOneEntryMixedLengths1
> org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TestTFileLzoCodecsStreams#testOneEntryUnknownLength{code}
>
> These tests first call
> `org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TestTFileStreams#writeRecords(int count,
> boolean knownKeyLength, boolean knownValueLength, boolean close)` to write
> `key-value` pair records in a `TFile` object, then call the helper function
> `readRecords()` to assert the `key` part and the `value` part of `key-value`
> pair records stored matched with what they wrote perviously. The `value`
> parts of `key-value` pairs from these tests are hardcode strings with a
> length of 6.
> Assertions in `readRecords()` are directly related to the value of the
> configuration parameter `tfile.io.chunk.size`. The formal definition of
> `tfile.io.chunk.size` is "Value chunk size in bytes. Default to 1MB. Values
> of the length less than the chunk size is guaranteed to have known value
> length in read time (See also
> TFile.Reader.Scanner.Entry.isValueLengthKnown())".
> When `tfile.io.chunk.size` is configured to a value less than the length of
> the `value` part of the `key-value` pairs from these 4 tests, these tests
> will fail, even though the configured value for `tfile.io.chunk.size` is
> correct in semantic.
>
> *Consequence*
> At least 4 actively-used tests failed on correctly configured parameters.
> Tests used `readRecords()` could fail if the length of the hardcoded `value`
> part they tested is larger than the configured value of
> `tfile.io.chunk.size`. This caused build failure of Hadoop-Common if these
> tests are not skipped.
>
> *Root Cause*
> `readRecords()` used
> `org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TFile.Reader.Scanner.Entry#getValueLength()`
> (abbreviate as `getValueLength()` below) to get the full length of the
> `value` part in the `key-value` pair. But `getValueLength()` can only get the
> full length of the `value` part when the full length is less than
> `tfile.io.chunk.size`, otherwise, `getValueLength()` throws an exception,
> causing `readRecords()` to fail, and thus resulting in failures in the
> aforementioned 4 tests. This is because `getValueLength()` do not know the
> full length of the `value` part when `value` part's size is larger than
> `tfile.io.chunk.size`.
>
> *Fixes*
> `readRecords()` should instead call
> `org.apache.hadoop.io.file.tfile.TFile.Reader.Scanner.Entry#getValue(byte[])`
> (abbreviate as `getValue()` below), which returns the correct full length of
> the `value` part despite whether the `value` length is larger than
> `tfile.io.chunk.size`.
