Yongjun Zhang commented on HDFS-4882:
-------------------------------------
Hi [~cmccabe],
What I speculated was, if the last block does not have minimal replication
(usually is 1), and if the lease is recovered, and then someone else try to
append to the same file, where to append the data to?
As I commented earlier, I agree if we keep the lease and the minimal
replication never got reached, then this is still going to be "infinite loop",
that is, checkLeases is run every 2 seconds, in each run, the same lease can
not be recovered because the minimal replication is not reached. But this
"infinite loop" is different than the infinite loop we are dealing with in this
jira, which is a real infinite loop within one checkLeases call, which would
take the FSNamesystem.writeLock() infinitely, thus causing much bigger trouble
(the former one is not a real infinite loop in this sense).
For case that minimal replication can never be reached when minimal replication
is 1, it means data loss. Is this common?
Thanks.

> Scenario:
> 1. cluster with 4 DNs
> 2. the size of the file to be written is a little more than one block
> 3. write the first block to 3 DNs, DN1->DN2->DN3
> 4. all the data packets of first block is successfully acked and the client
> sets the pipeline stage to PIPELINE_CLOSE, but the last packet isn't sent out
> 5. DN2 and DN3 are down
> 6. client recovers the pipeline, but no new DN is added to the pipeline
> because of the current pipeline stage is PIPELINE_CLOSE
> 7. client continuously writes the last block, and try to close the file after
> written all the data
> 8. NN finds that the penultimate block doesn't has enough replica(our
> dfs.namenode.replication.min=2), and the client's close runs into indefinite
> loop(HDFS-2936), and at the same time, NN makes the last block's state to
> COMPLETE
> 9. shutdown the client
> 10. the file's lease exceeds hard limit
> 11. LeaseManager realizes that and begin to do lease recovery by call
> fsnamesystem.internalReleaseLease()
> 12. but the last block's state is COMPLETE, and this triggers lease manager's
> infinite loop and prints massive logs like this:
