Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-3376:
----------------------------------------------
{code}
+ // Don't use the cache on the last attempt - it's possible that there
+ // are arbitrarily many unusable sockets in the cache, but we don't
+ // want to fail the read.
{code}
Just a question: Will the unusable sockets be closed and removed from the cache?
> DFSClient fails to make connection to DN if there are many unusable cached
> sockets

> After fixing the datanode side of keepalive to properly disconnect stale
> clients, (HDFS-3357), the client side has the following issue: when it
> connects to a DN, it first tries to use cached sockets, and will try a
> configurable number of sockets from the cache. If there are more cached
> sockets than the configured number of retries, and all of them have been
> closed by the datanode side, then the client will throw an exception and mark
> the replica node as dead.
