Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-5557:
----------------------------------
bq. Here why you exactly used 68000000L ? wanted to write more than one block?
If yes then you might have to set the block size to 64MB, default is 128M now
in trunk.
It doesn't have to write more than one block. I tried that, but the problem is
reproduced without writing more than one block. But multiple packets is still
better. It's an arbitrary number.
> Write pipeline recovery for the last packet in the block may cause rejection
> of valid replicas

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.23.9, 2.3.0

> When a block is reported from a data node while the block is under
> construction (i.e. not committed or completed), BlockManager calls
> BlockInfoUnderConstruction.addReplicaIfNotPresent() to update the reported
> replica state. But BlockManager is calling it with the stored block, not
> reported block. This causes the recorded replicas' gen stamp to be that of
> BlockInfoUnderConstruction itself, not the one from reported replica.
> When a pipeline recovery is done for the last packet of a block, the
> incremental block reports with the new gen stamp may come before the client
> calling updatePipeline(). If this happens, these replicas will be incorrectly
> recorded with the old gen stamp and get removed later. The result is close
> or addAdditionalBlock failure.
> If the last block is completed, but the penultimate block is not because of
> this issue, the file won't be closed. If this file is not cleared, but the
> client goes away, the lease manager will try to recover the lease/block, at
> which point it will crash. I will file a separate jira for this shortly.
> The worst case is to reject all good ones and accepting a bad one. In this
> case, the block will get completed, but the data cannot be read until the
> next full block report containing one of the valid replicas is received.
