> Incorrect offset/length calculation in pipeline recovery causes block
> corruption
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-10585
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10585
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: datanode
> Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang
> Assignee: Wei-Chiu Chuang
> Priority: Major
>
> We found incorrect offset and length calculation in pipeline recovery may
> cause block corruption and results in missing blocks under a very unfortunate
> scenario.
> (1) A client established pipeline and started writing data to the pipeline.
> (2) One of the data node in the pipeline restarted, closing the socket, and
> some written data were unacknowledged.
> (3) Client replaced the failed data node with a new one, initiating block
> transfer to copy existing data in the block to the new datanode.
> (4) The block is transferred to the new node. Crucially, the entire block,
> including the unacknowledged data, was transferred.
> (5) The last chunk (512 bytes) was not a full chunk, but the destination
> still reserved the whole chunk in its buffer, and wrote the entire buffer to
> disk, therefore some written data is garbage.
> (6) When the transfer was done, the destination data node converted the
> replica from temporary to rbw, which made its visible length as the length of
> bytes on disk. That is to say, it thought whatever was transferred was
> acknowledged. However, the visible length of the replica is different (round
> up to the next multiple of 512) than the source of transfer.
> (7) Client then truncated the block in the attempt to remove unacknowledged
> data. However, because the visible length is equivalent of the bytes on disk,
> it did not truncate unacknowledged data.
> (8) When new data was appended to the destination, it skipped the bytes
> already on disk. Therefore, whatever was written as garbage was not replaced.
> (9) the volume scanner detected corrupt replica, but due to HDFS-10512, it
> wouldn't tell NameNode to mark the replica as corrupt, so the client
> continued to form a pipeline using the corrupt replica.
> (10) Finally the DN that had the only healthy replica was restarted. NameNode
> then update the pipeline to only contain the corrupt replica.
> (11) Client continue to write to the corrupt replica, because neither client
> nor the data node itself knows the replica is corrupt. When the restarted
> datanodes comes back, their replica are stale, despite they are not corrupt.
> Therefore, none of the replica is good and up to date.
> The sequence of events was reconstructed based on DataNode/NameNode log and
> my understanding of code.
> Incidentally, we have observed the same sequence of events on two independent
> clusters.
