Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HDFS-142: ------------------------------------------ Although related to HDFS-142, TestAppend4 is an ongoing suite of unit tests we're trying to tailor to the HBase use case. TestAppend4 is currently revealing other bugs, so some of the code is commented out. We're working on fixing the other bugs and will update the Test file when we fix them. > Datanode should delete files under tmp when upgraded from 0.17 > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-142 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-142 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Raghu Angadi > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: appendQuestions.txt, deleteTmp.patch, deleteTmp2.patch, > deleteTmp5_20.txt, deleteTmp5_20.txt, deleteTmp_0.18.patch, handleTmp1.patch > > > Before 0.18, when Datanode restarts, it deletes files under data-dir/tmp > directory since these files are not valid anymore. But in 0.18 it moves these > files to normal directory incorrectly making them valid blocks. One of the > following would work : > - remove the tmp files during upgrade, or > - if the files under /tmp are in pre-18 format (i.e. no generation), delete > them. > Currently effect of this bug is that, these files end up failing block > verification and eventually get deleted. But cause incorrect over-replication > at the namenode before that. > Also it looks like our policy regd treating files under tmp needs to be > defined better. Right now there are probably one or two more bugs with it. > Dhruba, please file them if you rememeber. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
