> Key: HDFS-1982
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1982
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 0.20-append
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
>
> Conisder the following scenario.
> WE have a cluster with one NN and 2 DN.
> We write some file.
> One of the block is written in DN1 but not yet completed in DN2 local disk.
> Now DN1 gets killed and so pipeline recovery happens for the block with the
> size as in DN2 but the generation stamp gets updated in the NN.
> DN2 also gets killed.
> Now restart NN and DN1
> Now if NN restarts, the block that NN has greater time stamp but the size is
> lesser in the NN.
> This leads to Null pointer exception in addstoredblock api
