Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-3032:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the review Nicholas. In that case, we can add the retry limit in
LeaseRenewer where IOException is caught and retried forever. After all, it
doesn't make sense to renew after HdfsConstants.LEASE_SOFTLIMIT_PERIOD has
passed.
I will upload a new patch soon. I am adding a test case for the limited retry
right now.

> When LeaseRenewer gets an IOException while attempting to renew for a client,
> it retries after sleeping 500ms. If the exception is caused by a condition
> that will never change, it keeps talking to the name node until the DFSClient
> object is closed or aborted. With the FileSystem cache, a DFSClient can stay
> alive for very long time. We've seen the cases in which node managers and
> long living jobs flooding name node with this type of calls.
> The current proposal is to abort the client when RemoteException is caught
> during renewal. LeaseRenewer already does abort on all clients when it sees a
> SocketTimeoutException.
