Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-1057: ------------------------------------- > 1. CRC error1: BlockSender is created when data length is > metadata length. Could you please explain what do you mean data length and meatadata length? > Concurrent readers hit ChecksumExceptions if following a writer to very end > of file > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1057 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1057 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: data-node > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Critical > > In BlockReceiver.receivePacket, it calls replicaInfo.setBytesOnDisk before > calling flush(). Therefore, if there is a concurrent reader, it's possible to > race here - the reader will see the new length while those bytes are still in > the buffers of BlockReceiver. Thus the client will potentially see checksum > errors or EOFs. Additionally, the last checksum chunk of the file is made > accessible to readers even though it is not stable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
