Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-6604: ------------------------------------- Hi, Colin. Thank you for picking this up. The patch looks good. Can you please enhance {{TestShortCircuitCache}} to catch this problem, just to guard against a regression in the future? > Disk space leak with shortcircuit > --------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6604 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6604 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: hdfs-client > Affects Versions: 2.4.0 > Environment: Centos 6.5 and distribution Hortonworks Data Platform > v2.1 > Reporter: Giuseppe Reina > Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HDFS-6604.001.patch > > > When HDFS shortcircuit is enabled, the file descriptors of the deleted HDFS > blocks are kept open until the cache is full.
