---------------------------------
Summary: Fix DataNode may invalidates normal block causing missing
block
Key: HDFS-17342
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17342
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Haiyang Hu
Assignee: Haiyang Hu
When users read an append file, occasional exceptions may occur, such as
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.BlockMissingException: Could not obtain block: xxx.
This can happen if one thread is reading the block while writer thread is
finalizing it simultaneously.
*Root cause:*
The reader thread obtains a RBW replica from VolumeMap, such as:
blk_xxx_xxx[RBW] and the data file should be in /XXX/rbw/blk_xxx.
Simultaneously, the writer thread will finalize this block, moving it from the
RBW directory to the FINALIZE directory. the data file is move from
/XXX/rbw/block_xxx to /XXX/finalize/block_xxx.
The reader thread attempts to open this data input stream but encounters a
FileNotFoundException because the data file /XXX/rbw/blk_xxx or meta file
/XXX/rbw/blk_xxx_xxx doesn't exist at this moment.
The reader thread will treats this block as corrupt, removes the replica from
the volume map, and the DataNode reports the deleted block to the NameNode.
The NameNode removes this replica for the block.
If the current file replication is 1, this file will cause a missing block
issue until this DataNode executes the DirectoryScanner again.
As described above, when the reader thread encountered FileNotFoundException is
as expected, because the file is moved.
So we need to add a double check to the invalidateMissingBlock logic to verify
whether the data file or meta file exists to avoid similar cases.
