Duo Zhang updated HBASE-15252:
------------------------------
    Description: 
This is a problem introduced by HBASE-13825 where we change the exception type in catch block in {{readNext}} method of {{ProtobufLogReader}}.

{code:title=ProtobufLogReader.java}
      try {
          ......
          ProtobufUtil.mergeFrom(builder, new LimitInputStream(this.inputStream, size),
            (int)size);
        } catch (IOException ipbe) { // <------ used to be InvalidProtocolBufferException
          throw (EOFException) new EOFException("Invalid PB, EOF? Ignoring; originalPosition=" +
            originalPosition + ", currentPosition=" + this.inputStream.getPos() +
            ", messageSize=" + size + ", currentAvailable=" + available).initCause(ipbe);
        }
{code}

Here if the {{inputStream}} throws an {{IOException}} due to timeout or something, we just convert it to an {{EOFException}} and at the bottom of this method, we ignore {{EOFException}} and return false. This cause the upper layer think we reach the end of file. So when replaying we will treat the HDFS timeout error as a normal end of file and cause data loss.
