FSNamesystem.getBlockLocations sets access time without holding the namespace
locks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4986
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4986
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: dfs
Affects Versions: 0.19.0
Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE
Priority: Blocker
After the access time feature is added to HDFS,
FSNamesystem.getBlockLocations(..) is no longer a read only namespace
operation. It changes the namespace by updating the access time. However, the
thread does not own namespace locks. This may lead to namespace inconsistency.
