Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-8999:
---------------------------------
Thanks for updating the patch, Nicholas!
bq. No, it does not work for non-HA setup.
Yeah, for non-HA setup the retry is disabled by default. Then we need the retry
in callAppend.
bq. I think we still need the changes from HDFS-1172 and HDFS-9535
My original thought is maybe we can combine all the "putting blocks into the
pending queue" logic together into your new method. But the current approach
looks also fine to me.
Some of the test failures look suspicious. I just started another Jenkins run.

> ...whether we need to let NameNode wait for all the block_received msgs to
> announce the replica is safe. Looking into the code, now we have
> # NameNode knows the DataNodes involved when initially setting up the
> writing pipeline
> # If any DataNode fails during the writing, client bumps the GS and
> finally reports all the DataNodes included in the new pipeline to NameNode
> through the updatePipeline RPC.
> # When the client received the ack for the last packet of the block (and
> before the client tries to close the file on NameNode), the replica has been
> finalized in all the DataNodes.
> Then in this case, when NameNode receives the close request from the client,
> the NameNode already knows the latest replicas for the block. Currently the
> checkReplication call only counts in all the replicas that NN has already
> received the block_received msg, but based on the above #2 and #3, it may be
> safe to also count in all the replicas in the
> BlockUnderConstructionFeature#replicas?
