[jira] Resolved: (HDFS-743) file size is fluctuating although file is closed

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-743?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jakob Homan resolved HDFS-743.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

We can't set the version since 17 isn't even listed anymore.  Since it's virtually impossible that another 0.17 branch will be released, I'm going to close this as won't fix.  Any 17 clusters out there that are still running that may hit this would be advised to upgrade, and barring that, apply the patch themselves.  If anyone disagrees with this resolution, feel free to re-open.

> I am seeing that the length of a file sometimes becomes zero after a namenode restart. These files have only one block. All the three replicas of that block on the datanode(s) has non-zero size. Increasing the replication factor of the file causes the file to show its correct non-zero length.
> I am marking this as a blocker because it is still to be investigated which releases it affects. I am seeing this on 0.17.x very frequently. I might have seen this on 0.20.x but do not have a reproducible case yet.
