----------------------------------
Summary: Operations based on inode id must not fallback to the path
Key: HDFS-12657
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12657
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: namenode
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Reporter: Daryn Sharp
HDFS-6294 added the ability for some path-based operations to specify an
optional inode id to mimic file descriptors. If an inode id is provided and it
exists, it replaces the provided path. If it doesn't exist, it has the broken
behavior of falling back to the supplied path. A supplied inode id must be
authoritative. A FNF should be thrown if the inode does not exist.
(HDFS-10745 changed from string paths to IIPs but preserved the same broken
semantics)
This is broken since an operation specifying an inode for a deleted and
recreated path will operate on the newer inode. If another client recreates
the path, the operation is likely to fail for other reasons such as lease
checks. However a multi-threaded client has a single lease id. If thread1
creates a file, it's somehow deleted, thread2 recreates the path, then further
operations in thread1 may conflict with thread2 and corrupt the state of the
file.
