Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-3596: -------------------------------------- You are correct. It should have been host.conf. I've updated the description. Thanks! > accumulo hangs in {{InetAddress#getByName}} > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-3596 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3596 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: master, tserver > Environment: large cluster > Reporter: Eric Newton > Assignee: Eric Newton > > calls to importDirectory were hanging. After some debugging, it was > determined that the imports were stuck waiting on DNS lookups. > {{InetAddress#getByName}} calls {{gethostbyname_r}} > Further, it was determined that the call only hangs if /etc/host.conf > contains "reorder on". > A bug was found in this section of the glibc resolver, and a bug report will > be made to them. > Workaround: turn off address reordering. > Many thanks to [~bfloss] for finding this bug. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
