lohit vijayarenu commented on HADOOP-2757:
------------------------------------------

When DFS client commands are used along within other hadoop commands say job 
submission within a script. Then infinite waiting from DFSClient causes the 
whole script to hang. It would be really useful to have timeout and report user 
of failure.

> Should DFS outputstream's close wait forever?

> Currently {{DFSOutputStream.close()}} waits for ever if Namenode keeps 
> throwing {{NotYetReplicated}} exception, for whatever reason. Its pretty 
> annoying for a user. Shoud the loop inside close have a timeout? If so how 
> much? It could probably something like 10 minutes.
