> Key: HDFS-17658
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17658
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Kevin Wikant
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> h2. Background
> The HDFS Namenode manages datanode decommissioning using the
> DatanodeAdminManager
> The DatanodeAdminManager has logic to prevent transitioning datanodes to
> decommissioned state if they contain open blocks (i.e. Under Construction
> blocks) which are not sufficiently replicated to other datanodes. In the
> context of decomissioning, the reason that open blocks are important is
> because they cannot be replicated to other datanodes given they are actively
> being appended by an HDFS client. Because open blocks cannot be moved during
> decommissioning, they should prevent the associated datanodes from becoming
> decommissioned until the block is completed/finalized and it can be safely
> moved to other live datanode(s).
>
> h2. Problem
> The logic for DatanodeAdminManager to avoid decommissioning datanodes which
> contain open blocks does not properly consider blocks which are in Under
> Construction state. The DatanodeAdminManager is only considering blocks which
> are in committed/finalized state. For reference:
> * a block which is actively being appended by a DFSOutputStream is in Under
> Construction state
> * only when a DFSOutputStream is closed does the block transition from Under
> Construction state to Committed/Finalized state
> * then later when the block is reported to the namenode in a block report,
> it will transition from Committed to Completed state
> Furthermore:
> * this is true for a new file/block that was just created via
> "DFSClient.create"
> * this is true for an existing file/block that was just opened via
> "DFSClient.append"
> * this is true for all different dfs.replication factor values
>
> h2. Impact
> In some environments, a datanode being decommissioned is taken as a signal
> that all the blocks on that datanodes are sufficiently replicated to other
> live datanodes & therefore it is safe to terminate the underlying virtual
> host running the datanode.
> These types of environments can be impacted by HDFS data loss for open blocks
> which are not considered in the datanode decommissioning process. Since open
> blocks are not considered in determining if a datanode can be decommissioned,
> a datanode may become decommissioned before its open blocks are replicated to
> other datanodes. If the decommissioned datanode is then terminated, the open
> blocks will be lost.
> For open blocks with replication of 1, it takes a single
> decommissioned/terminated datanode to cause data loss. For open blocks with
> greater replication, all the datanodes holding the open block must be
> decommissioned/terminated for there to be data loss.
> I would also break the impact down into 2 cases:
> * for a new HDFS block that has never been closed, arguably if the
> DFSOutputStream encounters failure then the client should be able to replay
> the data from source
> * for an existing HDFS block that has previously been closed, when this
> block is opened via a new DFSOutputStream the block is susceptible to being
> lost & the client cannot replay data which was appended in the past by a
> different client. This is arguably the worse case of impact.
>
> h2. Testing
> This behaviour has been verified via testing on Hadoop 3.4.0; however, I
> suspect it also applies to many other older/newer Hadoop versions.
> See JIRA comments for detailed test methodology & results.
> The following is a summary of the test cases & test results:
> {quote}*Test#1: Create Block & Repeatedly Append in Loop → Decommission
> Datanode*
> ^ Expectation: block is considered during decommissioning; datanode is not
> decommissioned until the write operation is finished & block is replicated to
> another datanode.
> ^ Observation: block is not considered during decommissioning & is lost when
> decommissioned data is terminated.
> *Test#2: Create Block & Repeatedly Append in Loop → Close DFSOutputStream →
> Decommission Datanode*
> ^ Expectation: block is considered during decommissioning & is replicated to
> another datanode as part of decommissioning.

> h2. Root Cause Theory
> The DatanodeAdminManager relies on the DatanodeDescriptor StorageInfos to
> identify which blocks to consider as part of wether or not a datanode can be
> decommissioned.
> Based on an examination of the HDFS Namenode & Datanode DEBUG logs during
> testing, I believe the root cause has to do with the following 2 behaviours:
> {{*1.* When a DFSOutputStream is created for a block, that block enters Under
> Construction state but the Namenode does not add Under Construction blocks to
> the StorageInfos unless they have been committed/finalized which only occurs
> when the DFSOutputStream is closed. Therefore, by checking the StorageInfos
> only, the DatanodeAdminManager is not actually checking Under Construction
> blocks.}}
> During the testing, we see that the Under Construction blocks are not in the
> StorageInfos for the corresponding DatanodeDescriptor:

> h3. Potential Solution
> If possible, can consider adding Under Construction blocks to StorageInfos.
> If this would have other adverse impacts, then another solution is to expose
> the Under Construction blocks to the DatanodeAdminManager via another
> separate data structure.
