Hairong Kuang updated HDFS-1526:
--------------------------------
Attachment: randClientId1.patch
This patch makes random number generator to be static and concatenates a random
number and the thread id to the client name.
> Dfs client name for a map/reduce task should have some randomness
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Fsck shows one of the files in our dfs cluster is corrupt.
> # /bin/hadoop fsck aFile -files -blocks -locations
> aFile: 4633 bytes, 2 block(s):
> aFile: CORRUPT block blk_-4597378336099313975
> OK
> 0. blk_-4597378336099313975_2284630101 len=0 repl=3 [...]
> 1. blk_5024052590403223424_2284630107 len=4633 repl=3 [...]Status: CORRUPT
> On disk, these two blocks are of the same size and the same content. It turns
> out the writer of the file is from a multiple threaded map task. Each thread
> may write to the same file. One possible interaction of two threads might
> make this to happen:
> [T1: create aFile] [T2: delete aFile] [T2: create aFile][T1: addBlock 0 to
> aFile][T2: addBlock1 to aFile]...
> Because T1 and T2 have the same client name, which is the map task id, the
> above interactions could be done without any lease exception, thus eventually
> leading to a corrupt file. To solve the problem, a mapreduce task's client
> name could be formed by its task id followed by a random number.
