Manoj Govindassamy updated HDFS-12918:
--------------------------------------
Summary: NameNode fails to start after upgrade - Missing state in ECPolicy
Proto (was: EC Policy defaults incorrectly to enabled in protobufs)
> NameNode fails to start after upgrade - Missing state in ECPolicy Proto
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-12918
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12918
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Zach Amsden
> Assignee: Manoj Govindassamy
> Priority: Critical
>
> According to documentation and code comments, the default setting for erasure
> coding policy is disabled:
> /** Policy is disabled. It's policy default state. */
> DISABLED(1),
> However, HDFS-12258 appears to have incorrectly set the policy state in the
> protobuf to enabled:
> {code:java}
> message ErasureCodingPolicyProto {
> ooptional string name = 1;
> optional ECSchemaProto schema = 2;
> optional uint32 cellSize = 3;
> required uint32 id = 4; // Actually a byte - only 8 bits used
> + optional ErasureCodingPolicyState state = 5 [default = ENABLED];
> }
> {code}
> This means the parameter can't actually be optional, it must always be
> included, and existing serialized data without this optional field will be
> incorrectly interpreted as having erasure coding enabled.
> This unnecessarily breaks compatibility and will require existing HDFS
> installations that store metadata in protobufs to require reformatting.
> It looks like a simple mistake that was overlooked in code review.
