The Namenode maintains a lease for every open file that is being written to. If the client that was writing to the file disappears, the Namenode will do "lease recovery" after expiry of the lease timeout (1 hour). The lease recovery process (in most cases) will remove the last block from the file (it was not fully written because the client crashed before it could fill up the block) and close the file.
How does replication affect this? If there's at least one replicated client still running, I assume that takes care of it? -- Steve Sapovits Invite Media - http://www.invitemedia.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
