------------------------------------------

             Summary: Lockfiles are not being created for datanode storage 
directories
                 Key: HDFS-8469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8469
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: datanode
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe


Lockfiles are not being created for datanode storage directories.  Due to a 
mixup, we are initializing the StorageDirectory class with shared=true (an 
option which was only intended for NFS directories used to implement NameNode 
HA).  Setting shared=true disables lockfile generation and prints a log message 
like this:

{code}
2015-05-22 11:45:16,367 INFO  common.Storage (Storage.java:lock(675)) - Locking 
is disabled for /home/cmccabe/hadoop2/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/target/  
test/data/dfs/data/data5/current/BP-122766180-127.0.0.1-1432320314834
{code}

Without lock files, we could accidentally spawn two datanode processes using 
the same directories without realizing it.
