If locking of a storage dir fails, it will remove the other NN's lock file on exit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2877 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2877 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: name-node Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 0.23.0, 0.24.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Assignee: Todd Lipcon In {{Storage.tryLock()}}, we call {{lockF.deleteOnExit()}} regardless of whether we successfully lock the directory. So, if another NN has the directory locked, then we'll fail to lock it the first time we start another NN. But our failed start attempt will still remove the other NN's lockfile, and a second attempt will erroneously start. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
