Summary: ViewFs tests fail when tests dir is under Jenkins home dir Key: HADOOP-8589 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8589 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: fs, test Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 0.23.1 Reporter: Andrey Klochkov TestFSMainOperationsLocalFileSystem fails in case when the test root directory is under the user's home directory, and the user's home dir is deeper than 2 levels from /. This happens with the default 1-node installation of Jenkins. This is the failure log: {code} org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileAlreadyExistsException: Path /var already exists as dir; cannot create link here at org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.InodeTree.createLink(InodeTree.java:244) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.InodeTree.<init>(InodeTree.java:334) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystem$1.<init>(ViewFileSystem.java:167) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystem.initialize(ViewFileSystem.java:167) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.createFileSystem(FileSystem.java:2094) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.access$200(FileSystem.java:79) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem$Cache.getInternal(FileSystem.java:2128) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem$Cache.get(FileSystem.java:2110) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.get(FileSystem.java:290) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystemTestSetup.setupForViewFileSystem(ViewFileSystemTestSetup.java:76) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.TestFSMainOperationsLocalFileSystem.setUp(TestFSMainOperationsLocalFileSystem.java:40) ... Standard Output 2012-07-11 22:07:20,239 INFO mortbay.log (Slf4jLog.java:info(67)) - Home dir base /var/lib {code} The reason for the failure is that the code tries to mount links for both "/var" and "/var/lib", and it fails for the 2nd one as the "/var" is mounted already. The fix was provided in HADOOP-8036 but later it was reverted in HADOOP-8129. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
