----------------------------------

Hi Todd,

I have just tried to reproduce this today using your test program. I didn't get 
a deadlock on the original Hadoop 0.20.2 release. But I did get a deadlock on 
CDH3B3.

> Deadlock in Configuration.writeXml when serialized form is larger than one 
> DFS block

>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: hdfs client
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.22.0, 0.23.0
>            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>            Priority: Critical
>         Attachments: deadlock.txt, Test.java

> Configuration.writeXml holds a lock on itself and then writes the XML to an 
> output stream, during which DFSOutputStream will try to get a lock on 
> ackQueue/dataQueue. Meanwihle the DataStreamer thread will call functions 
> like conf.getInt() and deadlock against the other thread, since it could be 
> the same conf object.
> This causes a deterministic deadlock whenever the serialized form is larger 
> than block size.
