[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-2988) Improve error message when storage
directory lock fails
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2988?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13282004#comment-13282004 ]

-----------------------------------------
Hi gentlemen,
As as an experienced Java developer but novice opensource contributor I still have a bit doubt about how to start.
I picked out this issue in order to familiarize myself with the the process and to understand mechanics of a commit.
I wonder therefore, if the issue needs to be assigned to me before I start working on it?
Cheers,
Miomir Boljanovic

> Currently, the error message is fairly opaque to a non-developer ("Cannot lock storage" or something). Instead, we should have some improvments:
> - when we create the in_use.lock file, we should write the hostname/PID that locked the file
> - if the lock fails, and in_use.lock exists, the error message should say something like "It appears that another namenode (pid 23423 on host foo.example.com) has already locked the storage directory."
> - if the lock fails, and no lock file exists, the error message should say something like "if this storage directory is mounted via NFS, ensure that the appropriate nfs lock services are running."
