Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HBASE-2234: -------------------------------------------- @ryan I could go a couple ways with rebindWriterFunc(). I either need the "this" pointer to set "this.hdfs_out", in which case I don't need to explicitly pass in any params since it's always "this.writer". Or I could return an OutputStream and make this function static. I'm new to Java from an embedded C++ background; but to me it look like this is 6 of one, half-dozen of the other. I have a couple internal comments about this diff I may need to apply as well, so I'll roll that change into my next diff. > Roll Hlog if any datanode in the write pipeline dies > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2234 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2234 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: regionserver > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: stack > Fix For: 0.20.4, 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-2234-20.4.patch > > > HDFS does not replicate the last block of a file that is being written to. > This means that is datanodes in the write pipeline die, then the data blocks > in the transaction log would be experiencing reduced redundancy.
