Corrupted block if a crash happens before writing to checksumOut but after
writing to dataOut
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1232
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: data-node
Affects Versions: 0.20.1
Reporter: Thanh Do
- Summary: block is corrupted if a crash happens before writing to checksumOut
but
after writing to dataOut.
- Setup:
+ # available datanodes = 1
+ # disks / datanode = 1
+ # failures = 1
+ failure type = crash
+When/where failure happens = (see below)
- Details:
The order of processing a packet during client write/append at datanode
is first forward the packet to downstream, then write to data the block file,
and
and finally, write to the checksum file. Hence if a crash happens BEFORE the
write
to checksum file but AFTER the write to data file, the block is corrupted.
Worse, if this is the only available replica, the block is lost.
We also found this problem in case there are 3 replicas for a particular block,
and during append, there are two failures. (see HDFS-1231)
