I have used python to create file and read the file via thrift , and my hadoop is 0.20. But when i try to append the existed file , and my code is:
def write_file(self,name,data): try : path=Pathname() path.pathname=name filehandler=self.client.append(path) print self.client.write(filehandler,data) except ThriftIOException , tx: print "Error in writing the file with the given name",name print tx.message return False When append the file , this code self.client.append(path) throws an exception. org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.AlreadyBeingCreatedException: failed to create file /user/hadoop/test/testtxt5 for DFSClient_-1186455082 on client 10.18.138.201 because current leaseholder is trying to recreate file. at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.startFileInternal(FSNamesystem.java:1068) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.appendFile(FSNamesystem.java:1181) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.append(NameNode.java:422) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Server.call(RPC.java:512) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler$1.run(Server.java:968) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler$1.run(Server.java:964) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler.run(Server.java:962) Can anyone explain this ?
