Xiaoyu Yao commented on HDFS-6848: ---------------------------------- Note: the only caller of DataStorage#format() is the synchronized method addStorageLocations. So we should be fine without any changes. If this going to be called by other non-synchronized method in future, it is better to call the synchronized method setDatanodeUuid() instead of the direct assignment as Ted reported above in DataStorage#format(). {code} private synchronized void addStorageLocations(DataNode datanode,...) { format(sd, nsInfo, datanode.getDatanodeUuid()); } {code} > Lack of synchronization on access to datanodeUuid in DataStorage#format() > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6848 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6848 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ted Yu > Priority: Minor > > {code} > this.datanodeUuid = datanodeUuid; > {code} > The above assignment should be done holding lock "DataStorage.this" - as is > done in two other places. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
