Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1118: ----------------------------------- Hey Zheng. I was just running into this problem and then remembered that you put this patch up a while back. Why not just add an IOUtils.closeSocket() call inside the IOException catch clause, instead of adding the finally {} clause? > DFSOutputStream socket leak when cannot connect to DataNode > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1118 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.20.2, 0.20-append > Reporter: Zheng Shao > Assignee: Zheng Shao > Fix For: 0.20-append > > Attachments: HDFS-1118.1.patch, HDFS-1118.2.patch > > > The offending code is in {{DFSOutputStream.nextBlockOutputStream}} > This function retries several times to call {{createBlockOutputStream}}. Each > time when it fails, it leaves a {{Socket}} object in {{DFSOutputStream.s}}. > That object is never closed, but overwritten the next time > {{createBlockOutputStream}} is called. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
