Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-4659: -------------------------------------- > Client.call doesnt catch the exception. ... right. call() and waitForProxy() didn't change w.r.t. this. Now I see : the main difference is that setupIOstreams() used to throw the exception it got before HADOOP-2188. I think it should still throw. The local exception was supposed to be rare (some other connection error after writing the initial RPC request). Throwing the exception in setupIOStreams() will get this behavior to match pre-HADOOP-2188. I think this should be a blocker for 0.18.3. > Root cause of connection failure is being lost to code that uses it for > delaying startup > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4659 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ipc > Affects Versions: 0.18.3 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Assignee: Steve Loughran > Fix For: 0.18.3 > > Attachments: hadoop-4659.patch > > > ipc.Client the root cause of a connection failure is being lost as the > exception is wrapped, hence the outside code, the one that looks for that > root cause, isn't working as expected.
