Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2757: --------------------------------------- I do not think this patch solves the infinite loop problem with close. It seems to me the patch targets for a different problem. Do you know why your client hang? Is it possible that your client hit HADOOP-4703? > Should DFS outputstream's close wait forever? > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2757 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2757 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Reporter: Raghu Angadi > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: softMount1.patch, softMount1.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
