Hadoop FSNamesystem startFileInternal() getLease() has bug
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-495
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-495
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
            Reporter: Ruyue Ma
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.20.1


Original Code:

        //
        // If the file is under construction , then it must be in our
        // leases. Find the appropriate lease record.
        //
        Lease lease = leaseManager.getLease(new StringBytesWritable(holder));
        //
        // We found the lease for this file. And surprisingly the original
        // holder is trying to recreate this file. This should never occur.
        //
        if (lease != null) {
          throw new AlreadyBeingCreatedException(
                                                 "failed to create file " + src 
+ " for " + holder +
                                                 " on client " + clientMachine 
+ 
                                                 " because current leaseholder 
is trying to recreate file.");
        }

Problem: if another client (who has had some file leases) to recreate the 
underconstruction file, it can't trigger the lease recovery. 
Reason:  we should do:

 if (new StringBytesWritable(holder).equals(pendingFile.clientName)){
          throw new AlreadyBeingCreatedException(
                                                 "failed to create file " + src 
+ " for " + holder +
                                                 " on client " + clientMachine 
+ 
                                                 " because current leaseholder 
is trying to recreate file.");
}
