Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-2815: ------------------------------------------- Yes, Suresh. I agreed with you. HDFS-173 is not the cause. I already expressed this in my previous comment. Thanks a lot for the explanation. Also thanks for the review. Updated the patch which removes one unused variable.. > Namenode is not coming out of safemode when we perform ( NN crash + restart ) > . Also FSCK report shows blocks missed. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2815 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2815 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.22.0, 0.24.0, 0.23.1, 1.0.0, 1.1.0 > Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HDFS-2815.patch, HDFS-2815.patch > > > When tested the HA(internal) with continuous switch with some 5mins gap, > found some *blocks missed* and namenode went into safemode after next switch. > > After the analysis, i found that this files already deleted by clients. > But i don't see any delete commands logs namenode log files. But namenode > added that blocks to invalidateSets and DNs deleted the blocks. > When restart of the namenode, it went into safemode and expecting some > more blocks to come out of safemode. > Here the reason could be that, file has been deleted in memory and added > into invalidates after this it is trying to sync the edits into editlog file. > By that time NN asked DNs to delete that blocks. Now namenode shuts down > before persisting to editlogs.( log behind) > Due to this reason, we may not get the INFO logs about delete, and when we > restart the Namenode (in my scenario it is again switch), Namenode expects > this deleted blocks also, as delete request is not persisted into editlog > before. > I reproduced this scenario with bedug points. *I feel, We should not add > the blocks to invalidates before persisting into Editlog*. > Note: for switch, we used kill -9 (force kill) > I am currently in 0.20.2 version. Same verified in 0.23 as well in normal > crash + restart scenario. > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
