The following other JIRAs have been committed in CDH for 18 months or
so, for the purpose of HBase. You may want to consider backporting
them as well - many were never committed to 0.20-append due to lack of
reviews by HDFS committers at the time.
HDFS-1056. Fix possible multinode deadlocks during block recovery
when using ephemeral dataxceiv
Description: Fixes the logic by which datanodes identify local RPC targets
during block recovery for the case when the datanode
is configured with an ephemeral data transceiver port.
Reason: Potential internode deadlock for clusters using ephemeral ports
HADOOP-6722. Workaround a TCP spec quirk by not allowing
NetUtils.connect to connect to itself
Description: TCP's ephemeral port assignment results in the possibility
that a client can connect back to its own outgoing socket,
resulting in failed RPCs or datanode transfers.
Reason: Fixes intermittent errors in cluster testing with ephemeral
IPC/transceiver ports on datanodes.
HDFS-1122. Don't allow client verification to prematurely add
inprogress blocks to DataBlockScanner
Description: When a client reads a block that is also open for writing,
it should not add it to the datanode block scanner.
If it does, the block scanner can incorrectly mark the
block as corrupt, causing data loss.
Reason: Potential dataloss with concurrent writer-reader case.
HDFS-1248. Miscellaneous cleanup and improvements on 0.20 append branch
Description: Miscellaneous code cleanup and logging changes, including:
- Slight cleanup to recoverFile() function in TestFileAppend4
- Improve error messages on OP_READ_BLOCK
- Some comment cleanup in FSNamesystem
- Remove toInodeUnderConstruction (was not used)
- Add some checks for null blocks in FSNamesystem to avoid a possible NPE
- Only log "inconsistent size" warnings at WARN level for
non-under-construction blocks.
- Redundant addStoredBlock calls are also not worthy of WARN level
- Add some extra information to a warning in ReplicationTargetChooser
Reason: Improves diagnosis of error cases and clarity of code
HDFS-1242. Add unit test for the appendFile race condition /
synchronization bug fixed in HDFS-142
Reason: Test coverage for previously applied patch.
HDFS-1218. Replicas that are recovered during DN startup should
not be allowed to truncate better replicas.
Description: If a datanode loses power and then recovers, its replicas
may be truncated due to the recovery of the local FS
journal. This patch ensures that a replica truncated by
a power loss does not truncate the block on HDFS.
Reason: Potential dataloss bug uncovered by power failure simulation
HDFS-915. Write pipeline hangs for too long when ResponseProcessor
hits timeout
Description: Previously, the write pipeline would hang for the entire write
timeout when it encountered a read timeout (eg due to a
network connectivity issue). This patch interrupts the writing
thread when a read error occurs.
Reason: Faster recovery from pipeline failure for HBase and other
interactive applications.
HDFS-1186. Writers should be interrupted when recovery is started,
not when it's completed.
Description: When the write pipeline recovery process is initiated, this
interrupts any concurrent writers to the block under recovery.
This prevents a case where some edits may be lost if the
writer has lost its lease but continues to write (eg due to
a garbage collection pause)
Reason: Fixes a potential dataloss bug
commit a960eea40dbd6a4e87072bdf73ac3b62e772f70a
Author: Todd Lipcon <t...@lipcon.org>
Date: Sun Jun 13 23:02:38 2010 -0700
HDFS-1197. Received blocks should not be added to block map
prematurely for under construction files
Description: Fixes a possible dataloss scenario when using append() on
real-life clusters. Also augments unit tests to uncover
similar bugs in the future by simulating latency when
reporting blocks received by datanodes.
Reason: Append support dataloss bug
Author: Todd Lipcon
HDFS-1260. tryUpdateBlock should do validation before renaming meta file
Description: Solves bug where block became inaccessible in certain failure
conditions (particularly network partitions). Observed under
HBase workload at user site.
Reason: Potential loss of syunced data when write pipeline fails
