Jing Zhao updated HDFS-6651:
----------------------------
Assignee: Jing Zhao
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Deletion failure can leak inodes permanently.
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-6651
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6651
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Assignee: Jing Zhao
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HDFS-6651.000.patch
>
>
> As discussed in HDFS-6618, if a deletion of tree fails in the middle, any
> collected inodes and blocks will not be removed from {{INodeMap}} and
> {{BlocksMap}}.
> Since fsimage is saved by iterating over {{INodeMap}}, the leak will persist
> across name node restart. Although blanked out inodes will not have reference
> to blocks, blocks will still refer to the inode as {{BlockCollection}}. As
> long as it is not null, blocks will live on. The leaked blocks from blanked
> out inodes will go away after restart.
> Options (when delete fails in the middle)
> - Complete the partial delete: edit log the partial delete and remove inodes
> and blocks.
> - Somehow undo the partial delete.
> - Check quota for snapshot diff beforehand for the whole subtree.
> - Ignore quota check during delete even if snapshot is present.
