Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-3574:
------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Fix small race and do some cleanup in GetImageServlet
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-3574
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3574
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: hdfs-3574.txt
>
>
> There's a very small race window in GetImageServlet, if the following
> interleaving occurs:
> - The Storage object returns some local file in the storage directory (eg an
> edits file or image file)
> - *Race*: some other process removes the file
> - GetImageServlet calls file.length() which returns 0, since it doesn't
> exist. It thus faithfully sets the Content-Length header to 0
> - getFileClient() throws FileNotFoundException when trying to open the file.
> But, since we call response.getOutputStream() before this, the headers have
> already been sent, so we fail to send the "404" or "500" response that we
> should.
> Thus, the client sees a 0-length Content-Length followed by 0 lengths of
> content, and thinks it successfully has downloaded the target file, where in
> fact it downloads an empty one.
> I saw this in practice during the "edits synchronization" phase of recovery
> while working on HDFS-3077, though it could apply on existing code paths, as
> well, I believe.
