dhruba borthakur updated HADOOP-6099: ------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 0.21.0 Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Allow configuring the IPC module to send pings > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6099 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6099 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ipc > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: ipcPing.txt, ipcPing2.txt > > > The IPC Client sets a socketTimeout for the time period specified by the > pingInterval and then sends a ping every pingInterval. This means that if a > RPC server does not respond to a RPC client, then the RPC client blocks > forever. This is a problem for applications that wants to switch quickly from > one un-responsive HDFS cluster to a good one. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
