Brahma Reddy Battula commented on HDFS-6937:
--------------------------------------------
bq. If your problem is really a network issue, then your proposed solution
sounds reasonable to me. However, it seems different than what HDFS-6937
intends to solve, and I think we can create a new jira for your issue. Here is
why:
Initially thought of handling with this issue only. Thanks for
correction..Raised HDFS-10714 to handle seperately..
> Another issue in handling checksum errors in write pipeline

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: datanode, hdfs-client

> Given a write pipeline:
> DN1 -> DN2 -> DN3
> DN3 detected cheksum error and terminate, DN2 truncates its replica to the
> ACKed size. Then a new pipeline is attempted as
> DN1 -> DN2 -> DN4
> DN4 detects checksum error again. Later when replaced DN4 with DN5 (and so
> on), it failed for the same reason. This led to the observation that DN2's
> data is corrupted.
> Found that the software currently truncates DN2's replca to the ACKed size
> after DN3 terminates. But it doesn't check the correctness of the data
> already written to disk.
> So intuitively, a solution would be, when downstream DN (DN3 here) found
> checksum error, propagate this info back to upstream DN (DN2 here), DN2
> checks the correctness of the data already written to disk, and truncate the
> replica to to MIN(correctDataSize, ACKedSize).
> Found this issue is similar to what was reported by HDFS-3875, and the
> truncation at DN2 was actually introduced as part of the HDFS-3875 solution.
> Filing this jira for the issue reported here. HDFS-3875 was filed by
> [~tlipcon]
> and found he proposed something similar there.

> if the tail node in the pipeline detects a checksum error, then it returns a
> special error code back up the pipeline indicating this (rather than just
> disconnecting)
> if a non-tail node receives this error code, then it immediately scans its
> own block on disk (from the beginning up through the last acked length). If
> it detects a corruption on its local copy, then it should assume that it is
> the faulty one, rather than the downstream neighbor. If it detects no
> corruption, then the faulty node is either the downstream mirror or the
> network link between the two, and the current behavior is reasonable.
