Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1529: ----------------------------------- I ran unit tests, only got known failures > Incorrect handling of interrupts in waitForAckedSeqno can cause deadlock > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-1529 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1529 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: hdfs client > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: hdfs-1529.txt, hdfs-1529.txt, Test.java > > > In HDFS-895 the handling of interrupts during hflush/close was changed to > preserve interrupt status. This ends up creating an infinite loop in > waitForAckedSeqno if the waiting thread gets interrupted, since Object.wait() > has a strange semantic that it doesn't give up the lock even momentarily if > the thread is already in interrupted state at the beginning of the call. > We should decide what the correct behavior is here - if a thread is > interrupted while it's calling hflush() or close() should we (a) throw an > exception, perhaps InterruptedIOException (b) ignore, or (c) wait for the > flush to finish but preserve interrupt status on exit? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
