Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-101:
------------------------------------
When I thought more about it, it may make sense to let the client decide how to
handle the case when DNi has communication problem with DNi+1 because the
client is the one who decides the pipeline recovery policy. DNi itself has no
problem receiving packets and storing it to the disk except that it can not
talk to DNi+1. I think in this case it is OK that we let DNi continue to run.

> Key: HDFS-101
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-101
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Reporter: Raghu Angadi
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.21.0
>
>
> When the first datanode's write to second datanode fails or times out
> DFSClient ends up marking first datanode as the bad one and removes it from
> the pipeline. Similar problem exists on DataNode as well and it is fixed in
> HADOOP-3339. From HADOOP-3339 :
> "The main issue is that BlockReceiver thread (and DataStreamer in the case of
> DFSClient) interrupt() the 'responder' thread. But interrupting is a pretty
> coarse control. We don't know what state the responder is in and interrupting
> has different effects depending on responder state. To fix this properly we
> need to redesign how we handle these interactions."
> When the first datanode closes its socket from DFSClient, DFSClient should
> properly read all the data left in the socket.. Also, DataNode's closing of
> the socket should not result in a TCP reset, otherwise I think DFSClient will
> not be able to read from the socket.
