Race condition in TestRetryCacheWithHA#testCreateSymlink causes spurious test failure. Contributed by Aaron T. Myers.

Myers > Assignee: Aaron T. Myers > Attachments: HDFS-5289.patch > > > The code to check if the operation has been completed on the active NN can > potentially execute before the thread actually doing the operation has run. > In this case the checking code will retry the check if the result of the > check is null. However, the test operation does not in fact return null, > instead throwing an exception if the file doesn't exist yet. We need to catch > the exception and retry. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
