John George commented on HDFS-2034: ----------------------------------- I don't think the above tests fail because of this patch, but I dont see the tests failing in the patches before this one... When I run these tests manually, they seem to pass as well. > length in getBlockRange becomes -ve when reading only from currently being > written blk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2034 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2034 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: John George > Assignee: John George > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HDFS-2034-1.patch, HDFS-2034-1.patch, HDFS-2034-2.patch, > HDFS-2034-3.patch, HDFS-2034-4.patch, HDFS-2034-5.patch, HDFS-2034.patch > > > This came up during HDFS-1907. Posting an example that Todd posted in > HDFS-1907 that brought out this issue. > {quote} > Here's an example sequence to describe what I mean: > 1. open file, write one and a half blocks > 2. call hflush > 3. another reader asks for the first byte of the second block > {quote} > In this case since offset is greater than the completed block length, the > math in getBlockRange() of DFSInputStreamer.java will set "length" to > negative. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
