Binglin Chang updated HADOOP-9916:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
TestIPC timeouts occasionally, for example: 
[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5130?focusedCommentId=13749870&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13749870]

Look into the code, there is race condition in oah.ipc.Client, the race 
condition happen between RPC call thread and connection read response thread:

{code}
        if (status == RpcStatusProto.SUCCESS) {
          Writable value = ReflectionUtils.newInstance(valueClass, conf);
          value.readFields(in);                 // read value
          call.setRpcResponse(value);
          calls.remove(callId);
{code}

Read Thread: 
Connection.receiveRpcResponse-> call.setRpcResponse(value) -> notify Call Thread

Call Thread:
Client.call -> Connection.addCall(retry with the same callId) -> notify read 
thread

Read Thread:
calls.remove(callId) # intend to remove old call, but removes newly added 
call...
Connection.waitForWork end up wait maxIdleTime and close the connection. The 
call never get response and dead.

The problem doesn't show because previously callId is unique, we never 
accidentally remove newly added calls, but when retry added this race condition 
became possible.

To solve this, we can simply change order, remove the call first, then notify 
call thread.
Note there are many places need this order change(normal case, error case, 
cleanup case)

And there are some minor issues in TestIPC:
1. there are two method with same name:
   void testSerial()
   void testSerial(int handlerCount, boolean handlerSleep, ...)
   the second is not a test case(so should not use testXXX prefix), but somehow 
it causes testSerial(first one) run two times, see test report:
{code}
  <testcase time="26.896" classname="org.apache.hadoop.ipc.TestIPC" 
name="testSerial"/>
  <testcase time="25.426" classname="org.apache.hadoop.ipc.TestIPC" 
name="testSerial"/>
{code}

2. timeout annotation should be added, so next time related log is available.

Look into the code, have not found the cause yet, but we can do something first:

1. there are two method with same name:
   void testSerial()
   void testSerial(int handlerCount, boolean handlerSleep, ...)
   the second is not a test case, but somehow it causes testSerial(first one) 
run two times, see test report:
{code}
  <testcase time="26.896" classname="org.apache.hadoop.ipc.TestIPC" 
name="testSerial"/>
  <testcase time="25.426" classname="org.apache.hadoop.ipc.TestIPC" 
name="testSerial"/>
{code}

2. timeout annotation should be added, so next time related log is available.
