------------------------------------

             Summary: Race condition in TestRetryCacheWithHA#testCreateSymlink 
causes spurious test failure
                 Key: HDFS-5289
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5289
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: test
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1-beta
            Reporter: Aaron T. Myers
            Assignee: Aaron T. Myers


The code to check if the operation has been completed on the active NN can 
potentially execute before the thread actually doing the operation has run. In 
this case the checking code will retry the check if the result of the check is 
null. However, the test operation does not in fact return null, instead 
throwing an exception if the file doesn't exist yet. We need to catch the 
exception and retry.
