> Improve error messages for failed completeFile
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-1062
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1062
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs client, name-node
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Jonathan Hsieh
> Labels: newbie
>
> In practice I often see users confused by the cryptic error message "failed
> to complete PATH because dir.getFileBlocks() is null and pendingFile is null"
> (I wonder why!) The most common cause of this seems to be that another user
> deleted the file (or its containing directory) while the writer was in
> progress.
> We should at least improve the error message on the NN side. Even better
> would be to expose the error message through the IOException passed over the
> RPC boundary to the client.
> Including a message like "(another client may have removed the file or its
> containing directory)" should do the trick.
