Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-1325:
---------------------------------------
Clients that run for short duration of time, when exits, releases connection
resources. Long running clients, typically another server talking to HDFS (such
as HBASE), should close the file when it is done. The change you are
introducing results in fostering poor code and masks the root cause of the
problem.
Inspite of this, if you feel that this is the way you want to solve the
problem, please consider adding this check into the application layer code,
instead of DFSClient.

> When you use Hbase over hadoop. We found during scanning over a large table (
> which has many regions and each region has many store files), there're too
> many connections has been kept between regionserver (act as DFSClient) and
> datanode. Even if the store file has been complete to scanning, the
> connections can not be closed.
> In our cluster, too many extra connections cause too many system resource has
> been wasted, which cause system cpu on region server reach to a high level,
> then bring this region server down.
> After investigating, we found the number of active connection is very small,
> and the most connection is idle. We add a timeout checker thread into
> DFSClient, to close this connection.
