One should be able to renew a lease. How does one renew a lease? Seems like adding a byte to the block should do that... This seems very brittle as is. If you are doing something CPU intensive that produces output, you don't want the system to timeout and potentially throw out a lot of your work.

Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-107:
--------------------------------------------

It looks like your write to a file takes too long.
The client has 1 minute to complete one block write until
the lease issued for that client expires. When the lease expires the
namenode thinks the block is abandoned. If your files are small,
consisting of only 1 block, then the file will be considered abandoned
as well. So the namenode removes the file before the client reports
its completion.
Lease duration is not configurable, so you cannot control that.
But you can retry everything starting from file creation when you
receive that exception.
Is it true that your writes take longer than a minute?

I can't be 100% sure, but it looks like these errors happen with checksum files for very small data files.
