             Summary: Aborted DFSClient's impact on long running service like 
YARN
                 Key: HDFS-7314
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7314
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ming Ma


It happened in YARN nodemanger scenario. But it could happen to any long 
running service that use cached instance of DistrbutedFileSystem.

1. Active NN is under heavy load. So it became unavailable for 10 minutes; any 
DFSClient request will get ConnectTimeoutException.

2. YARN nodemanager use DFSClient for certain write operation such as log 
aggregator or shared cache in YARN-1492. DFSClient used by YARN NM's renewLease 
RPC got ConnectTimeoutException.

3. After DFSClient is in Aborted state, YARN NM can't use that cached instance 
of DistributedFileSystem.

We can make YARN or DFSClient more tolerant to temporary NN unavailability. 
Given the callstack is YARN -> DistributedFileSystem -> DFSClient, this can be 
addressed at different layers.

* YARN closes the DistributedFileSystem object when it receives some well 
defined exception. Then the next HDFS call will create a new instance of 
DistributedFileSystem. We have to fix all the places in YARN. Plus other HDFS 
applications need to address this as well.

* DistributedFileSystem detects Aborted DFSClient and create a new instance of 
DFSClient. We will need to fix all the places DistributedFileSystem calls 
DFSClient.

* After DFSClient gets into Aborted state, it doesn't have to reject all 
requests , instead it can retry. If NN is available again it can transition to 
healthy state.
