Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-5939:
----------------------------------------------

{code}
+    } catch (InvalidTopologyException te) {
+      throw new IOException("Failed to find datanode, suggest to check cluster 
health.");
+    }
{code}
Let's set the cause of the IOException to te as below.  Otherwise, the message 
in te won't be shown anywhere.
{code}
+    } catch (InvalidTopologyException te) {
+      throw new IOException("Failed to find datanode, suggest to check cluster 
health.", te);
+    }
{code}
BTW, do you mean to name the InvalidTopologyException variable ite?

> When trying to access hdfs via webhdfs, and when datanode is dead, user will 
> see an exception below without any clue that it's caused by dead datanode:
> $ curl -i -X PUT 
> ".../webhdfs/v1/t1?op=CREATE&user.name=<userName>&overwrite=false"
> ...
> {"RemoteException":{"exception":"IllegalArgumentException","javaClassName":"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException","message":"n
>  must be positive"}}
> Need to fix the report to give user hint about dead datanode.
