Namenode gets sticky if one of namenode storage volumes disappears (removed, unmounted, etc.)

                 Key: HDFS-1603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1603
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
            Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik


While investigating failures on HDFS-1602 it became apparent that once a namenode storage volume is pulled out NN becomes completely "sticky" until {{FSImage:processIOError: removing storage}} move the storage from the active set. During this time none of normal NN operations are possible (e.g. creating a directory on HDFS timeouts eventually).

In case of NFS this can be workaround'd with soft,intr,timeo,retrans settings. However, a better handling of the situation is apparently possible and needs to be implemented.
