> Key: HDFS-14134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14134
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hdfs, hdfs-client, ipc
> Reporter: Lukas Majercak
> Assignee: Ayush Saxena
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HDFS-14134.001.patch,

>
> Currently, some operations that throw IOException on the NameNode are
> evaluated by RetryPolicy as FAILOVER_AND_RETRY, but they should just fail
> fast.
> For example, when calling getXAttr("user.some_attr", file") where the file
> does not have the attribute, NN throws an IOException with message "could not
> find attr". The current client retry policy determines the action for that to
> be FAILOVER_AND_RETRY. The client then fails over and retries until it
> reaches the maximum number of retries. Supposedly, the client should be able
> to tell that this exception is normal and fail fast.
> Moreover, even if the action was FAIL, the RetryInvocationHandler looks at
> all the retry actions from all requests, and FAILOVER_AND_RETRY takes
> precedence over FAIL action.
