Lavkesh Lahngir updated YARN-3591:
----------------------------------
Attachment: YARN-3591.6.patch
Updated the patch with the initial solution.
1. It does not add any overhead. Hardly few microseconds.
2. It does not introduce new problems.
3. it solves the use case.

> It happens when a resource is localised on the disk, after localising that
> disk has gone bad. NM keeps paths for localised resources in memory. At the
> time of resource request isResourcePresent(rsrc) will be called which calls
> file.exists() on the localised path.
> In some cases when disk has gone bad, inodes are stilled cached and
> file.exists() returns true. But at the time of reading, file will not open.
> Note: file.exists() actually calls stat64 natively which returns true because
> it was able to find inode information from the OS.
> A proposal is to call file.list() on the parent path of the resource, which
> will call open() natively. If the disk is good it should return an array of
> paths with length at-least 1.
