sam rash commented on HDFS-1262:
--------------------------------
that's probably better. this was dependent on it as i was killing the
datanodes to simulate the pipeline failure. i ended up tuning the test case to
use mockito to throw exceptions at the end of a NN rpc call for both append()
and create(), so I think that dependency is gone.
can we mark this as dependent on that if it turns out to be needed?

> Ryan Rawson came upon this nasty bug in HBase cluster testing. What happened
> was the following:
> 1) File's original writer died
> 2) Recovery client tried to open file for append - looped for a minute or so
> until soft lease expired, then append call initiated recovery
> 3) Recovery completed successfully
> 4) Recovery client calls append again, which succeeds on the NN
> 5) For some reason, the block recovery that happens at the start of append
> pipeline creation failed on all datanodes 6 times, causing the append() call
> to throw an exception back to HBase master. HBase assumed the file wasn't
> open and put it back on a queue to try later
> 6) Some time later, it tried append again, but the lease was still assigned
> to the same DFS client, so it wasn't able to recover.
> The recovery failure in step 5 is a separate issue, but the problem for this
> JIRA is that the NN can think it failed to open a file for append when the NN
> thinks the writer holds a lease. Since the writer keeps renewing its lease,
> recovery never happens, and no one can open or recover the file until the DFS
> client shuts down.
