Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8325: -------------------------------------------- I can think of 2 options: 1* Add a method in the FileSystem to disable its shutdown hook. MRAppMaster would disable it and call closeAll() explicitly (it already does). 2* Remove the FileSystem shutdown hook completely. For process that don't call closeAll() the NN eventually will close down the orphan sockets. > remove FileSystem JVM shutdown hook that does closeAll() > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8325 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8325 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > > FileSystem adds a JVM shutdown hook when a filesystem instance is cached. > MRAppMaster also uses a JVM shutdown hook, among other things, the > MRAppMaster JVM shutdown hook is used to ensure state are written to HDFS. > This creates a race condition because each JVM shutdown hook is a separate > thread and if there are multiple JVM shutdown hooks there is not assurance of > order of execution, they could even run in parallel. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
