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

             Summary: getBlockLocationsUpdateTimes missing handle exception may 
cause fsLock dead lock
                 Key: HDFS-7253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7253
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Carrey Zhan


One day my active namenode hanged and I dumped the program stacks by jstack.In 
the stacks file, I saw most threads were waiting FSNamesystem.fsLock, both  
readLock and writeLock were unacquirable, but no thread was holding writeLock.
I tried to access the web interface of this namenode but was blocked. and I 
tried to failover the active node to another namenode manually (zkfs did not 
discover this node was hanging) but it was also failed. So I killed this 
namenode trying to recover the production environment, then the failover was 
triggered, standby nn transited to active, and then, the new active namenode 
hanged.
My following steps are useless and can be ignored. At last, I thought it was 
caused by an incorrect lock handling in 
FSNamesystem.getBlockLocationsUpdateTimes, which I will describe in the first 
comment.
