Current diff is at https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/161 > Add a finite shell command timeout to ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-13817 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13817 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: Harsh J > Assignee: Harsh J > Priority: Minor > > The ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping run various {{id}} commands via the > ShellCommandExecutor modules without a timeout set (its set to 0, which > implies infinite). > If this command hangs for a long time on the OS end due to an unresponsive > groups backend or other reasons, it also blocks the handlers that use it on > the NameNode (or other services that use this class). That inadvertently > causes odd timeout troubles on the client end where its forced to retry (only > to likely run into such hangs again with every attempt until at least one > command returns). > It would be helpful to have a finite command timeout after which we may give > up on the command and return the result equivalent of no groups found. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
