stack commented on HADOOP-4379: ------------------------------- I tested some more and new reader sees 0 data and gets an EOF each time. I went back to testing the wait-on-successful-append, close, and new open for read and ran into the following issue again (I'd seen this in earlier patch) where we're spinnning waiting on the append to succeed: {code} 2009-05-27 22:16:53,186 [HMaster] INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HLog: Failed open for append, waiting on lease recovery: hdfs://Y/hbase/.logs/X,1243460581044/hlog.dat.1243462406950 org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.AlreadyBeingCreatedException: failed to create file /hbase/.logs/X,1243460581044/hlog.dat.1243462406950 for DFSClient_-843497834 on client X.X.X.X, because this file is already being created by DFSClient_-181950545 on Y.Y.Y.Y at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.startFileInternal(FSNamesystem.java:1058) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.appendFile(FSNamesystem.java:1146) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.append(NameNode.java:392) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor18.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Server.call(RPC.java:508) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler$1.run(Server.java:959) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler$1.run(Server.java:955) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler.run(Server.java:953) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:739) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Invoker.invoke(RPC.java:220) at $Proxy0.append(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor11.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler.invokeMethod(RetryInvocationHandler.java:82) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler.invoke(RetryInvocationHandler.java:59) at $Proxy0.append(Unknown Source) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.append(DFSClient.java:487) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.append(DistributedFileSystem.java:186) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.append(FileSystem.java:525) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HLog.recoverLog(HLog.java:956) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HLog.splitLog(HLog.java:800) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HLog.splitLog(HLog.java:753) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.ProcessServerShutdown.process(ProcessServerShutdown.java:248) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.processToDoQueue(HMaster.java:459) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.run(HMaster.java:395) {code} ... and then this started up and won't stop: {code} 2009-05-27 22:16:59,753 [HMaster] INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: Could not complete file /hbase/.logs/X,60021,1243460581044/hlog.dat.1243462406950 retrying... 2009-05-27 22:17:00,163 [HMaster] INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: Could not complete file /hbase/.logs/X,1243460581044/hlog.dat.1243462406950 retrying... 2009-05-27 22:17:00,573 [HMaster] INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: Could not complete file /hbase/.logs/X,1243460581044/hlog.dat.1243462406950 retrying... ..... {code} Namenode log is here: http://www.duboce.net/~stack/could_not_complete_file_nn.log.gz > In HDFS, sync() not yet guarantees data available to the new readers > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4379 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4379 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.19.2 > > Attachments: 4379_20081010TC3.java, fsyncConcurrentReaders.txt, > fsyncConcurrentReaders3.patch, fsyncConcurrentReaders4.patch, > fsyncConcurrentReaders5.txt, fsyncConcurrentReaders6.patch, > fsyncConcurrentReaders9.patch, hypertable-namenode.log.gz, namenode.log, > namenode.log, Reader.java, Reader.java, reopen_test.sh, ReopenProblem.java, > Writer.java, Writer.java > > > In the append design doc > (https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12370562/Appends.doc), it > says > * A reader is guaranteed to be able to read data that was 'flushed' before > the reader opened the file > However, this feature is not yet implemented.
