Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE resolved HADOOP-6639. -------------------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate > FileSystem.get(..) may be blocked for a long time > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6639 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6639 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > > When FileSystem cache is enabled, FileSystem.get(..) will call > FileSystem.Cache.get(..), which is a synchronized method. If the lookup > fails, a new instance will be initialized. Depends on the FileSystem > subclass implementation, the initialization may take a long time. In such > case, the FileSystem.Cache lock will be hold and all calls to > FileSystem.get(..) by other threads will be blocked for a long time. > In particular, the DistributedFileSystem initialization may take a long time > since there are retries. It is even worst if the socket timeout is set to a > large value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
