Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-11960:
-----------------------------------
The simplest fix will be not letting {{addBlock()}} remove a pending
replication, if the reported genstamp is not current.
{code}
- if (storedBlock != null) {
+ if (storedBlock != null &&
+ block.getGenerationStamp() == storedBlock.getGenerationStamp()) {
pendingReconstruction.decrement(storedBlock, node);
}
{code}
This way, the corrupt replica will still be deleted and if the replication is
tried and fails before the deletion, the pending replication will expire and
rescheduled. Even if it is scheduled to the same target again, it will work.
> Successfully closed files can stay under-replicated.

> Key: HDFS-11960
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11960
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Assignee: Kihwal Lee
> Priority: Critical
>
> If a certain set of conditions hold at the time of a file creation, a block
> of the file can stay under-replicated. This is because the block is
> mistakenly taken out of the under-replicated block queue and never gets
> reevaluated.
> Re-evaluation can be triggered if
> - a replica containing node dies.
> - setrep is called
> - NN repl queues are reinitialized (NN failover or restart)
> If none of these happens, the block stays under-replicated.
> Here is how it happens.
> 1) A replica is finalized, but the ACK does not reach the upstream in time.
> IBR is also delayed.
> 2) A close recovery happens, which updates the gen stamp of "healthy"
> replicas.
> 3) The file is closed with the healthy replicas. It is added to the
> replication queue.
> 4) A replication is scheduled, so it is added to the pending replication
> list. The replication target is picked as the failed node in 1).
> 5) The old IBR is finally received for the failed/excluded node. In the
> meantime, the replication fails, because there is already a finalized replica
> (with older gen stamp) on the node.
> 6) The IBR processing removes the block from the pending list, adds it to
> corrupt replicas list, and then issues invalidation. Since the block is in
> neither replication queue nor pending list, it stays under-replicated.
