sam rash commented on HDFS-1057: -------------------------------- So removing setBytesOnDisk() means: {code} if (replicaInfo instanceof ReplicaBeingWritten) { ((ReplicaBeingWritten) replicaInfo) .setLastChecksumAndDataLen(offsetInBlock, lastChunkChecksum); } replicaInfo.setBytesOnDisk(offsetInBlock); {code} will not have the latter. So all other implementations of Replica will have a valid value for getByteOnDIsk()? Does this also mean that the impl of getBytesOnDisk for ReplicaInPipeline will move to ReplicaBeingWritten ? > 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: 0.20-append, 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: sam rash > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: conurrent-reader-patch-1.txt, > conurrent-reader-patch-2.txt, conurrent-reader-patch-3.txt, > hdfs-1057-trunk-1.txt, hdfs-1057-trunk-2.txt, hdfs-1057-trunk-3.txt > > > 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.
