Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-5286:
---------------------------------------
Thank Raghu for the clarification. I did not realize we have read timeout too.
So either a slow reader or a slow writer might cause a read failure. But still
multiple retries and slow writing by the datanode contributed to this 1.5 hours
of reading. From the log, retries took at least 1/2 hour. The log did not show
exactly how much time last successful read took because not every failed read
was logged.

> On a large cluster, we've observed that DFS client was blocked on reading a
> block of a file for almost 1 and half hours. The file was being read by the
> JobTracker of the cluster, and was a split file of a job. On the NameNode
> logs, we observed that the block had a message as follows:
> Inconsistent size for block blk_2044238107768440002_840946 reported from
> <ip>:<port> current size is 195072 reported size is 1318567
