Fengnan Li updated HDFS-14914:
------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Observer should throw StandbyException in Safemode
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-14914
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14914
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Fengnan Li
> Assignee: Fengnan Li

>
> When observer is in safemode, calling getBlockLocations will make it throw
> RetriableException as in
> [HDFS-13898|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13898]. However,
> during startup the safemode is taking a really long time and retry would not
> help much here.
> What makes it worse is that when Routers talking to Observers, since Router
> distinguishes StandbyException and RetriableException, it will keep retry
> (default 3) times and then return to the client an RetriableException. The
> client will retry again on the same Router and to the same Observer for
> default 10 times, resulting in 3 * 10 = 30 retries per call.
> The change is to make it failover so that Router can immediately try another
> Observer or Active namenode (depends on the design). The current
> ObserverReadProxyProvider doesn't get affected since both RetriableException
> and StandbyException will make it failover.
