Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4663:
---------------------------------------
Dhruba, for the idea that I proposed, we still preserve the data under tmp.
Block finalization is delayed until its file's lease is expired. NN will
initiate lease recovery and close the file. Also the proposal tries to restore
data structures both at NN and DN side when dfs was down. So any synced data
should be available to any reader if they were available to a reader before dfs
was down.
> Datanode should delete files under tmp when upgraded from 0.17

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4663
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.18.0
> Reporter: Raghu Angadi
> Assignee: dhruba borthakur
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.19.1

> Attachments: deleteTmp.patch, deleteTmp2.patch, deleteTmp_0.18.patch,

> Before 0.18, when Datanode restarts, it deletes files under data-dir/tmp
> directory since these files are not valid anymore. But in 0.18 it moves these
> files to normal directory incorrectly making them valid blocks. One of the
> following would work :
> - remove the tmp files during upgrade, or
> - if the files under /tmp are in pre-18 format (i.e. no generation), delete
> them.
> Currently effect of this bug is that, these files end up failing block
> verification and eventually get deleted. But cause incorrect over-replication
> at the namenode before that.
> Also it looks like our policy regd treating files under tmp needs to be
> defined better. Right now there are probably one or two more bugs with it.
> Dhruba, please file them if you rememeber.
