Phil Yang created HDFS-9600: ------------------------------- Summary: do not check replication if the block is under construction Key: HDFS-9600 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9600 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Phil Yang Assignee: Phil Yang Priority: Critical
When appending a file, we will update pipeline to bump a new GS and the old GS will be considered as out of date. When changing GS, in BlockInfo.setGenerationStampAndVerifyReplicas we will remove replicas having old GS which means we will remove all replicas because no DN has new GS until the block with new GS is added to blockMaps again by DatanodeProtocol.blockReceivedAndDeleted. If we check replication of this block before it is added back, it will be regarded as missing. The probability is low but if there are decommissioning nodes the DecommissionManager.Monitor will scan all blocks belongs to decommissioning nodes with a very fast speed so the probability of finding missing block is very high and actually they are not missing. Furthermore, after closing the appended file, in FSNamesystem.finalizeINodeFileUnderConstruction, it will checkReplication and because of some of nodes is decommissioning, this block with new GS will be added to UnderReplicatedBlocks map so there are two blocks with same ID in this map, one is in QUEUE_WITH_CORRUPT_BLOCKS and the other is in QUEUE_HIGHEST_PRIORITY or QUEUE_UNDER_REPLICATED. And there will be many missing blocks warning in NameNode website but there is no corrupt files... Therefore, I think the solution is we should not check replication if the block is under construction. We only check complete blocks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
