Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1542:
-----------------------------------
Nicholas/Dhruba - I see you're watching this ticket :) Which do you think is
better? (a) have Configuration.writeXML copy itself to a new object first, or
(b) fix up DFSOutputStream to either copy Configuration or never call
conf.get() from the DataStreamer/ResponseProcessor threads?
> Deadlock in Configuration.writeXml when serialized form is larger than one
> DFS block

> Key: HDFS-1542
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1542
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hdfs client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.22.0, 0.23.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: deadlock.txt, Test.java
>
>
> Configuration.writeXml holds a lock on itself and then writes the XML to an
> output stream, during which DFSOutputStream will try to get a lock on
> ackQueue/dataQueue. Meanwihle the DataStreamer thread will call functions
> like conf.getInt() and deadlock against the other thread, since it could be
> the same conf object.
> This causes a deterministic deadlock whenever the serialized form is larger
> than block size.
