sam rash commented on HDFS-142:
-------------------------------
todd : one question about the latest 2 patches. Is clientName access from
multiple threads via setClientName/getClientName ?
if so, shouldn't it be volatile?
(I think that object, INodeFileUnderConstruction can be accessed from other
threads, in particular if the NN starts recovery, sets it, and another RPC
thread tries to handle a close or sync call)
> In 0.20, move blocks being written into a blocksBeingWritten directory

> Before 0.18, when Datanode restarts, it deletes files under data-dir/tmp
> directory since these files are not valid anymore. But in 0.18 it moves these
> files to normal directory incorrectly making them valid blocks. One of the
> following would work :
> - remove the tmp files during upgrade, or
> - if the files under /tmp are in pre-18 format (i.e. no generation), delete
> them.
> Currently effect of this bug is that, these files end up failing block
> verification and eventually get deleted. But cause incorrect over-replication
> at the namenode before that.
> Also it looks like our policy regd treating files under tmp needs to be
> defined better. Right now there are probably one or two more bugs with it.
> Dhruba, please file them if you rememeber.
