---------------------------------------
I agree with Todd that the default value of HdfsConstants.WRITE_TIMEOUT is
somewhat in the order of 8 to 10 minutes. But this is a configurable value and
you can set it lower if necessary, isn't it? If you set it to a smaller value,
then does your kill -STOP experiment generate an error in the client quicker
than 10 minutes?
> Hung DN stalls write pipeline for far longer than its timeout

> Key: HDFS-915
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-915
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hdfs client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon

>
> After running kill -STOP on the datanode in the middle of a write pipeline,
> the client takes far longer to recover than it should. The ResponseProcessor
> times out in the correct interval, but doesn't interrupt the DataStreamer,
> which appears to not be subject to the same timeout. The client only recovers
> once the OS actually declares the TCP stream dead, which can take a very long
> time.
> I've experienced this on 0.20.1, haven't tried it yet on trunk or 0.21.
