dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-4103: ------------------------------------------ Hi Raghu: really appreciate it if you remember why BlocksManager.getMissingBlocksCount() does not do any locking? > Alert for missing blocks > ------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4103 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4103 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.17.2 > Reporter: Christian Kunz > Assignee: Raghu Angadi > Fix For: 0.20.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-4103-branch-20.patch, HADOOP-4103.patch, > HADOOP-4103.patch, HADOOP-4103.patch, HADOOP-4103.patch > > > A whole bunch of datanodes became dead because of some network problems > resulting in heartbeat timeouts although datanodes were fine. > Many processes started to fail because of the corrupted filesystem. > In order to catch and diagnose such problems faster the namenode should > detect the corruption automatically and provide a way to alert operations. At > the minimum it should show the fact of corruption on the GUI. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
