Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-5399:
------------------------------
Attachment: hdfs-5399.002.patch
The issue was that the convenience constructors for
FailoverOnNetworkExceptionRetry didn't maintain the old behavior of retrying
multiple times, since they set numRetries to 0. This new patch sets numRetries
to Integer.MAX_VALUE for those constructors, and fixes the test.

> Currently for NN SafeMode, we have the following corresponding retry policies:
> # In non-HA setup, for certain API call ("create"), the client will retry if
> the NN is in SafeMode. Specifically, the client side's RPC adopts
> MultipleLinearRandomRetry policy for a wrapped SafeModeException when retry
> is enabled.
> # In HA setup, the client will retry if the NN is Active and in SafeMode.
> Specifically, the SafeModeException is wrapped as a RetriableException in the
> server side. Client side's RPC uses FailoverOnNetworkExceptionRetry policy
> which recognizes RetriableException (see HDFS-5291).
> There are several possible issues in the current implementation:
> # The NN SafeMode can be a "Manual" SafeMode (i.e., started by administrator
> through CLI), and the clients may not want to retry on this type of SafeMode.
> # Client may want to retry on other API calls in non-HA setup.
> # We should have a single generic strategy to address the mapping between
> SafeMode and retry policy for both HA and non-HA setup. A possible
> straightforward solution is to always wrap the SafeModeException in the
> RetriableException to indicate that the clients should retry.
