-------------------------------------
Summary: Underconstruction blocks can be considered missing
Key: HDFS-11755
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11755
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha2, 2.8.1
Reporter: Nathan Roberts
Assignee: Nathan Roberts
Following sequence of events can lead to a block underconstruction being
considered missing.
- pipeline of 3 DNs, DN1->DN2->DN3
- DN3 has a failing disk so some updates take a long time
- Client writes entire block and is waiting for final ack
- DN1, DN2 and DN3 have all received the block
- DN1 is waiting for ACK from DN2 who is waiting for ACK from DN3
- DN3 is having trouble finalizing the block due to the failing drive. It does
eventually succeed but it is VERY slow at doing so.
- DN2 times out waiting for DN3 and tears down its pieces of the pipeline, so
DN1 notices and does the same. Neither DN1 nor DN2 finalized the block.
- DN3 finally sends an IBR to the NN indicating the block has been received.
- Drive containing the block on DN3 fails enough that the DN takes it offline
and notifies NN of failed volume
- NN removes DN3's replica from the triplets and then declares the block
missing because there are no other replicas
Seems like we shouldn't consider uncompleted blocks for replication.
