FSNamesystem.startFile throws an IOException when the number of chosen targets is less than the required minimum number -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1248 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1248 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Affects Versions: 0.12.3 Reporter: Hairong Kuang Fix For: 0.13.0 When I ran a test on a one-node dfs cluster, the test failed because of the exception listed below. First of all, I wonder why chooseTarget returns 0 target when # of datanodes is 1. Secondly I think it would be nicer if startFile retries chooseTarget before throws the exception back to client. java.io.IOException: Failed to create file /user/hairong/xxx on client 127.0.0.1 because there were not enough datanodes available. Found 0 datanodes but MIN_REPLICATION for the cluster is configured to be 1. at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.FSNamesystem.startFile(FSNamesystem.java:813) at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.NameNode.create(NameNode.java:294) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Server.call(RPC.java:339) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler.run(Server.java:573) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
