SocketTimeoutException: timeout while waiting for channel to be ready for read
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-770
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-770
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: contrib/libhdfs, data-node, hdfs client, name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
         Environment: Ubuntu Linux 8.04
            Reporter: Leon Mergen
         Attachments: client.txt, datanode.txt, namenode.txt

We're having issues with timeouts occurring in our client: for some reason, a 
timeout of 63000 milliseconds is triggered while writing HDFS data. Since we 
currently have a single-server setup, this results in our client terminating 
with a "All datanodes are bad" IOException.

We're running all services, including the client, on our single server, so it 
cannot be a network error. The load on the client is extremely low during this 
period: only a few kilobytes a minute were being written around the time the 
error occured. 

After browsing a bit online, a lot of people talk about setting 
"dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout" to 0 as a solution for this problem. Due to 
the low load of our system during this period, however, I do feel this is a 
real error and a timeout that should not be occurring. I have attached 3 logs 
of the namenode, datanode and client.

It could be that this is related to 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-693

Any pointers on how I can assist to resolve this issue will be greatly 
appreciated.
