Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HDFS-6978: -------------------------------------------- +1 > Directory scanner should correctly reconcile blocks on RAM disk > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6978 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6978 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: datanode > Affects Versions: HDFS-6581 > Reporter: Arpit Agarwal > Assignee: Arpit Agarwal > Attachments: HDFS-6978.01.patch, HDFS-6978.02.patch > > > It used to be very unlikely that the directory scanner encountered two > replicas of the same block on different volumes. > With memory storage, it is very likely to hit this with the following > sequence of events: > # Block is written to RAM disk > # Lazy writer saves a copy on persistent volume > # DN attempts to evict the original replica from RAM disk, file deletion > fails as the replica is in use. > # Directory scanner finds a replica on both RAM disk and persistent storage. > The directory scanner should never delete the block on persistent storage. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
