Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-6622:
--------------------------------------------
The fix here has a problem. If the file is renamed while an addBlocks is going
on, it will fail with {{throw new IOException("Cannot locate the original file.
Original: "+ src + " , current: " + fileState.path);}}.
> Rename and AddBlock may race and produce invalid edits

> Key: HDFS-6622
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6622
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: HDFS-6622.patch
>
>
> While investigating HDFS-6618, we have discovered that rename happening in
> the middle of {{getAdditionalBlock()}} can lead to logging of invalid edit
> entry.
> In {{getAdditionalBlock()}} , the path is resolved once while holding the
> read lock and the same resolved path will be used in the edit log in the
> second half of the method holding the write lock. If a rename happens in
> between two locks, the path may no longer exist.
> When replaying the {{AddBlockOp}}, it will fail with FileNotFound.
