Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-1224: --------------------------------------- The confusing thing here, IMO, is that the admin status of the datanode, can be either NORMAL, DECOMMISIONED or DECOMMISSION_IN_PROGRESS, and if the admin state is normal, it can be either dead or "not dead". So a data node, from the perspective of the end user, can be in one of the four states : live, dead, decommissioned or decommission_in_progress. Thus isDatanodeDead() =/= ! isDatanodeLive(). > "Browse the filesystem" link pointing to a dead data-node > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1224 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1224 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.12.3 > Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: DFSBrowsingDeadNode_v1.0.patch, > DFSBrowsingDeadNode_v1.1.patch > > > On the NameNode status web page "Browse the filesystem" link can point to a > dead data-node. > The reason for that is that FSNamesystem.randomDataNode() selects a random > node from the > list of all nodes rather then selecting among alive nodes only. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
