Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HDFS-127:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: h127_20091019b.patch

h127_20091019b.patch: synced Igor's patch with trunk.

Since this is likely to be committed to 0.20, it is better to use Igor's patch 
which was already tested extensively.

Stack, your comments totally make sense to me but I don't want to introduce big 
change on 0.20.  Let's do the improvement on separated issues like HDFS-656, 
HDFS-378, etc.

> The investigation showed that the root of this issue is that we exceeded # of 
> xcievers in the data nodes and that was fixed by changing configuration 
> settings to 2k.
> However - one thing that bothered me was that even after datanodes recovered 
> from overload and most of client servers had been shut down - we still 
> observed errors in the logs of running servers.
> Further investigation showed that fix for HADOOP-1911 introduced another 
> problem - the DFSInputStream instance might become unusable once number of 
> failures over lifetime of this instance exceeds configured threshold.
> The fix for this specific issue seems to be trivial - just reset failure 
> counter before reading next block (patch will be attached shortly).
> This seems to be also related to HADOOP-3185, but I'm not sure I really 
> understand necessity of keeping track of failed block accesses in the DFS 
> client.
