sam rash commented on HDFS-1057:
--------------------------------
i assume a similar problem as before. The problem was that code that opened
RPC proxies to DNs did not get closed in a finally block. The test failure
output indicates a socket/fd leak ("Too many open files").
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1310
the test was succeeding 8 months ago, 2010-09-10, so I'd look at commits that
came after that.

> In BlockReceiver.receivePacket, it calls replicaInfo.setBytesOnDisk before
> calling flush(). Therefore, if there is a concurrent reader, it's possible to
> race here - the reader will see the new length while those bytes are still in
> the buffers of BlockReceiver. Thus the client will potentially see checksum
> errors or EOFs. Additionally, the last checksum chunk of the file is made
> accessible to readers even though it is not stable.
