Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1103:
-----------------------------------
This is definitely the same issue -- I remember now that I opened this issue
before when I had started forward-porting those same tests :)
I'm not 100% sure what the right recourse is - should we in fact always recover
the longest valid replica for RWR/RUR cases, even if it means a lower
replication count?
> Replica recovery doesn't distinguish between flushed-but-corrupted last chunk
> and unflushed last chunk

> Key: HDFS-1103
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1103
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: data-node
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: hdfs-1103-test.txt

>
> When the DN creates a replica under recovery, it calls validateIntegrity,
> which truncates the last checksum chunk off of a replica if it is found to be
> invalid. Then when the block recovery process happens, this shortened block
> wins over a longer replica from another node where there was no corruption.
> Thus, if just one of the DNs has an invalid last checksum chunk, data that
> has been sync()ed to other datanodes can be lost.
