Atin Arora created HDFS-17796:
---------------------------------
Summary: File write via WebHDFS when required space not available
doesn't give appropriate error on failing
Key: HDFS-17796
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17796
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: webhdfs
Reporter: Atin Arora
When initiating a write operation through WebHDFS to upload a large file (~10
GB), if the available HDFS storage is less than the size of the file, WebHDFS
responds with an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. This error response is generic
and does not clearly indicate the actual cause — insufficient storage space.
Additionally, the partial or incomplete file that is created during the upload
process is not cleaned up from HDFS, which may lead to further storage issues
or confusion for users and automated processes.
+*STEPS TO REPRODUCE:*+
# Almost fill the available storage in HDFS, leaving ~5gb of space
# Initiate a webHDFS call to upload a large file (~10gb)
# Wait for the operation to timeout
+*CURRENT BEHAVIOUR:*+
Currently the webHDFS call times out with a 500 response code
+*EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:*+
* The server should return a meaningful error (e.g., *HTTP 507 Insufficient
Storage* or a descriptive 400-level error) indicating that there is not enough
space to complete the operation.
* There shouldn't be any incomplete files on the node.
