jiwan created HDFS-3729: --------------------------- Summary: when datanode is blocked in BlockReceiver.receiveBlock(...) by disk error/pressure, DFSClient is blocked and no timeout mechanism Key: HDFS-3729 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3729 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: hdfs client Reporter: jiwan
Our hadoop/hbase in taobao.com cluster is blocked by DFSClient somtimes. The reason is disk error or too much load, but HEART_BEAT in PacketResponder is normal, so DFSClient wait forever until method of disk read/write return. I searched issues in jira, and nothing for this issue, we plan to do some work to fix this bug. The innial idea is to add timeout mechanism for the DFSClient write function.
