Brandon Li updated HDFS-5252:
-----------------------------
Description:
When the client asks for a stable write but the prerequisite writes are not
transferred to NFS gateway, the stableness can't be honored. NFS gateway has to
treat the write as unstable write and set the flag to UNSTABLE in the write
response.
One bug was found during test with Ubuntu client when copying one 1KB file. For
small files like 1KB file, Ubuntu client does one stable write (with FILE_SYNC
flag). However, NFS gateway missed one place where it sends response with the
flag NOT updated to UNSTABLE.
With this bug, the client thinks the write is on disk and thus doesn't send
COMMIT anymore. The following test tries to read the data back and of course
fails to do so since the data was not synced.
