Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1542:
-----------------------------------
This is now blocked on HADOOP-7082. Dhruba, do you have any thoughts on my new
proposal above to fix this on the Configuration locking side?
> 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: 0.22.0, 0.23.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: deadlock.txt, hdfs-1542.txt, hdfs-1542.txt,
> hdfs-1542.txt, hdfs1542_cdh3b3.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.
