Aaron T. Myers updated HDFS-4739: --------------------------------- Attachment: HDFS-4739.patch Missed a bounds check. Updated patch should fix the test failures. > NN can miscalculate the number of extra edit log segments to retain > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4739 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4739 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha > Reporter: Aaron T. Myers > Assignee: Aaron T. Myers > Attachments: HDFS-4739.patch, HDFS-4739.patch > > > The code in NNStorageRetentionManager#purgeOldStorage is intended to place a > cap on the number of _extra_ edit log segments retained beyond what is > strictly required to replay the FS history since the last fsimage. In fact > this code currently places a limit on the _total_ number of extra edit log > segments. If the number of required segments is greater than the configured > cap, there will be no data loss, but an ugly error will be thrown and the NN > will fail to start. > The fix is simple, and in the meantime a work-around is just to raise the > value of dfs.namenode.max.extra.edits.segments.retained and start the NN. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
