             Summary: Open files can leak permanently due to inconsistent lease 
update
                 Key: HDFS-10763
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10763
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.6.4, 2.7.3
            Reporter: Kihwal Lee
            Priority: Critical


This can heppen during {{commitBlockSynchronization()}} or a client gives up on 
closing a file after retries.
>From {{finalizeINodeFileUnderConstruction()}}, the lease is removed first and 
>then the inode is turned into the closed state. But if any block is not in 
>COMPLETE state, 
{{INodeFile#assertAllBlocksComplete()}} will throw an exception. This will 
cause the lease is removed from the lease manager, but not from the inode. 
Since the lease manager does not have a lease for the file, no lease recovery 
will happen for this file. Moreover, this broken state is persisted and 
reconstructed through saving and loading of fsimage. Since no replication is 
scheduled for the blocks for the file, this can cause a data loss and also 
block decommissioning of datanode.

The lease cannot be manually recovered either. It fails with
{noformat}
...AlreadyBeingCreatedException): Failed to RECOVER_LEASE /xyz/xyz for user1 on
 0.0.0.1 because the file is under construction but no leases found.
        at 
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.recoverLeaseInternal(FSNamesystem.java:2950)
...
{noformat}

When a client retries {{close()}}, the same inconsistent state is created, but 
it can work in the next time since {{checkLease()}} only looks at the inode, 
not the lease manager in this case. The close behavior is different if 
HDFS-8999 is activated by setting 
{{dfs.namenode.file.close.num-committed-allowed}} to 1 (unlikely) or 2 (never). 

In principle, the under-construction feature of an inode and the lease in the 
lease manager should never go out of sync. The fix involves two parts.
1) Prevent inconsistent lease updates. We can achieve this by calling 
{{removeLease()}} after checking the block state. 
2) Avoid reconstructing inconsistent lease states from a fsimage. 1) alone does 
not correct the existing inconsistencies surviving through fsimages.  This can 
be done during fsimage loading time by making sure a corresponding lease exists 
for each inode that are with the underconstruction feature.
