Xiaobing Zhou commented on HDFS-8855:
-------------------------------------
Tested HDFS-7597 patch, it’s working well for HDFS-8855. In my 3 nodes of
local VMs, the ESTABLISHED connection varies from 1400 to 2200 as load
generator is running.
The code path is different in two cases. HDFS-8855 case goes to cache in
org.apache.hadoop.ipc.connection. Let’s investigate on that cache.
> Webhdfs client leaks active NameNode connections
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-8855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8855
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: webhdfs
> Environment: HDP 2.2
> Reporter: Bob Hansen
> Assignee: Xiaobing Zhou
>
> The attached script simulates a process opening ~50 files via webhdfs and
> performing random reads. Note that there are at most 50 concurrent reads,
> and all webhdfs sessions are kept open. Each read is ~64k at a random
> position.
> The script periodically (once per second) shells into the NameNode and
> produces a summary of the socket states. For my test cluster with 5 nodes,
> it took ~30 seconds for the NameNode to have ~25000 active connections and
> fails.
> It appears that each request to the webhdfs client is opening a new
> connection to the NameNode and keeping it open after the request is complete.
> If the process continues to run, eventually (~30-60 seconds), all of the
> open connections are closed and the NameNode recovers.
> This smells like SoftReference reaping. Are we using SoftReferences in the
> webhdfs client to cache NameNode connections but never re-using them?
