Hey Zeev,This is caused by a misbehaving client stuck in an infinite loop. When you restart the NN, the client resumes causing these errors.
I suspect there is an infinite loop in the DFSClient for HDFS 0.19.x as you are the third person to report this. If you can recover a stack trace from the misbehaving client, it would be very interesting to C - I trigger this often, but I access via libhdfs, so getting a stack trace is very difficult.
Find the client, kill it, and you will see these messages go away Brian On Sep 15, 2009, at 5:52 PM, Zeev Milin wrote:
