Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-5939: -------------------------------------- bq. On the other hand, I wonder if it's a bug that the system set the replication to 0 (instead of non-zero), and we now have to manually set the replication to non-zero? I wouldn't consider it a bug necessarily, but really just a quirk of the way MiniDFSCluster works currently. I personally would recommend against changing it, since there are probably other tests that either deliberately or inadvertently rely on the current behavior, and you might break them were you to change it. > WebHdfs returns misleading error code and logs nothing if trying to create a > file with no DNs in cluster > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-5939 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5939 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: hdfs-client > Affects Versions: 2.3.0 > Reporter: Yongjun Zhang > Assignee: Yongjun Zhang > Attachments: HDFS-5939.001.patch, HDFS-5939.002.patch, > HDFS-5939.003.patch, HDFS-5939.004.patch > > > When trying to access hdfs via webhdfs, and when datanode is dead, user will > see an exception below without any clue that it's caused by dead datanode: > $ curl -i -X PUT > ".../webhdfs/v1/t1?op=CREATE&user.name=<userName>&overwrite=false" > ... > {"RemoteException":{"exception":"IllegalArgumentException","javaClassName":"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException","message":"n > must be positive"}} > Need to fix the report to give user hint about dead datanode. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
