ShellCommand, in particular 'df -k', sometimes hang ---------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2231 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2231 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: fs Affects Versions: 0.15.1 Reporter: Christian Kunz We noticed that some pipes applications writing to dfs using libhdfs have about 6% chance of hanging when executing 'df -k' to find out whether there is enough space available on the local filesystem before opening a file for write. Why not using File.getFreeSpace() or File.GetUsableSpace()?
