Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HADOOP-7488: --------------------------------------------- Thanks Jhon for taking alook on this issue. Updated a patch for review!. This patch introduces a property( max.ping.retries.on.socket.timeout ). Default value will be -1, represents that disabling of this property. In this scenario, if we unplug the network cable between the nodes, this ping reads will get timeouts continuosly . SocketTimeOuts was handled and retried infinitely.So, it was waiting for long time..... Now , to avoid this problem, we can configure the number of ping retries. Anyway continuos timeouts means , somthing wrong in network/cluster, we can restrict this retries by configuring the above property. Bydefault this property will be disabled. --Thanks > When Namenode network is unplugged, DFSClient operations waits for ever > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7488 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7488 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ipc > Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Attachments: HADOOP-7488.patch > > > When NN/DN is shutdown gracefully, the DFSClient operations which are waiting > for a response from NN/DN, will throw exception & come out quickly > But when the NN/DN network is unplugged, the DFSClient operations which are > waiting for a response from NN/DN, waits for ever. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
