Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1965:
-----------------------------------
bq. Todd, just saw you comments. I think this is the real bug: we should fix
stopProxy(..) instead of changing max idle time.
Yes, you're probably right. But maybe we can use this as a stop-gap for 0.22
while we work on the stopProxy fix in trunk? I'm afraid the stopProxy stuff
will be complicated - that IPC code is kind of spaghetti.

> This is the reason that TestFileConcurrentReaders has been failing a lot.
> Reproducing a comment from HDFS-1057:
> The test has a thread which continually re-opens the file which is being
> written to. Since the file's in the middle of being written, it makes an RPC
> to the DataNode in order to determine the visible length of the file. This
> RPC is authenticated using the block token which came back in the
> LocatedBlocks object as the security ticket.
> When this RPC hits the IPC layer, it looks at its existing connections and
> sees none that can be re-used, since the block token differs between the two
> requesters. Hence, it reconnects, and we end up with hundreds or thousands of
> IPC connections to the datanode.
