Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-1263:
---------------------------------------
> The think the create()and cleanup() RPCs can be retried too.
I believe that Dhruba meant create() and complete(). +1 on his suggestion.
> retry logic when dfs exist or open fails temporarily, e.g because of timeout

> Key: HADOOP-1263
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1263
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.12.3
> Reporter: Christian Kunz
> Assigned To: Hairong Kuang

> Sometimes, when many (e.g. 1000+) map jobs start at about the same time and
> require supporting files from filecache, it happens that some map tasks fail
> because of rpc timeouts. With only the default number of 10 handlers on the
> namenode, the probability is high that the whole job fails (see Hadoop-1182).
> It is much better with a higher number of handlers, but some map tasks still
> fail.
> This could be avoided if rpc clients did retry when encountering a timeout
> before throwing an exception.

> java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timed out waiting for rpc response
