Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-4942: ------------------------------------------- Suresh, it looks like the issue is rapidly spreading into multiple jiras. I counted 8 by now. If you think it will take more than that should we consider moving this to a branch? Otherwise porting of the feature in other branches becomes challenging as cherry picking of multiple patches interleaved with other changes is non-trivial. > Add retry cache support in Namenode > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4942 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4942 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ha, namenode > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Attachments: HDFSRetryCache.pdf > > > In current HA mechanism with FailoverProxyProvider and non HA setups with > RetryProxy retry a request from the RPC layer. If the retried request has > already been processed at the namenode, the subsequent attempts fail for > non-idempotent operations such as create, append, delete, rename etc. This > will cause application failures during HA failover, network issues etc. > This jira proposes adding retry cache at the namenode to handle these > failures.
