Andrew Wang updated HDFS-4300:
------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage should use a tmp file for destination
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-4300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4300
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Andrew Wang
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: hdfs-4300-1.patch
>
>
> Currently, in TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage, we download the edits
> file directly to its finalized path. So, if the transfer fails in the middle,
> a half-written file is left and cannot be distinguished from a correct file.
> So, future checkpoints by the 2NN will fail, since the file is truncated in
> the middle -- but it won't ever download a good copy because it thinks it
> already has the proper file.
