[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5713) File write fails after data node
goes down
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5713?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12707773#action_12707773 ]
dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-5713:
------------------------------------------
Your approach looks good but the client does not conclusively know whether the datanode is really dead, transient error or network failure. Also, we have not seen this problem occuring in a a resonable size cluster (i.e. #datanodes > 5 or so). Do you feel that the problem you mentioned occurs in a reasonable size cluster and warrants the additional complexity in the client?
Maybe you can set dfs.client.block.write.retries in your configuration to a large value to alleviate this problem?

> {noformat}
> The tests were done with the following configuration:
> * Hadoop version 0.18.3
> * 3 data nodes with replication count of 2
> * 1 GB file write
> * 1 data node taken down during write
> This issue seems to be caused by the fact that there is a delay between the time a data node goes down and the time it is marked as dead by the name node. This delay is unavoidable, but the name node should not keep allocating new blocks to data nodes that are known to be down by the client. Even by adjusting {{heartbeat.recheck.interval}}, there is still a window during which this issue can occur.
> One possible fix would be to allow clients to exclude known bad data nodes when allocating new blocks. See {{failed_write.patch}} for an example.
