             Summary: Datanode sometimes gives up permanently on Namenode in HA 
setup
                 Key: HDFS-4455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4455
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: datanode
            Reporter: Lars Hofhansl


Today we got ourselves into a situation where we hard killed the cluster (kill 
-9 across the board on all processes) and upon restarting all DNs would 
permanently give up on of the NNs in our two NN HA setup (using QJM).

The HA setup is correct (prior to this we failed over the NNs many times for 
testing). Bouncing the DNs resolved the problem.

In the logs I see this exception:

{code}

So somehow in BPServiceActor.connectToNNAndHandshake() we made it all the way 
to register(). Then failed in bpNamenode.registerDatanode(bpRegistration) with 
an IOException, which is not caught and has the block pool service fail as a 
whole.

No doubt that was caused by one of the NNs being a weird state. While that 
happened the active NN claimed that the FS was corrupted and stayed in safe 
mode, and DNs only registered with the standby DN. Failing over to the 2nd NN 
and then restarting the first NN and failing did not change that.

No amount bouncing/failing over the HA NNs would have the DNs reconnect to one 
of the NNs.

In BPServiceActor.register(), should we catch IOException instead of 
SocketTimeoutException? That way it would continue to retry and eventually 
connect to the NN.
