----------------------------------

             Summary: Death of watcherThread making other local read blocked
                 Key: HDFS-8429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8429
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
            Reporter: zhouyingchao
            Assignee: zhouyingchao


In our cluster, an application is hung when doing a short circuit read of local hdfs block. By looking into the log, we found the DataNode's DomainSocketWatcher.watcherThread has exited with following log:
{code}
ERROR org.apache.hadoop.net.unix.DomainSocketWatcher: Thread[Thread-25,5,main] terminating on unexpected exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.hadoop.net.unix.DomainSocketWatcher$2.run(DomainSocketWatcher.java:463)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
{code}

The line 463 is following code snippet:
{code}
         try {
            for (int fd : fdSet.getAndClearReadableFds()) {
              sendCallbackAndRemove("getAndClearReadableFds", entries, fdSet,
                fd);
            }
{code}

getAndClearReadableFds is a native method which will malloc an int array. Since our memory is very tight, it looks like the malloc failed and a NULL pointer is returned.

The bad thing is that other threads then blocked in stack like this:
{code}

{code}

IMO, we should exit the DN so that the users can know that something go  wrong  and fix it.
