Kan Zhang commented on HADOOP-2757: ----------------------------------- @dhruba, in your new patch, in DFSClient.java, the following added code won't get executed. Are you trying to replace the if clause before it? {noformat} + if (closed) { + return; + } + {noformat} > 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, softMount2.patch, > softMount3.patch, softMount4.txt > > > 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.
