    Resolution: Duplicate

> IPC Reader thread could silently die and leave NameNode unresponsive

>
>                 Key: HADOOP-13657
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13657
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: ipc
>            Reporter: Zhe Zhang
>            Priority: Critical
>
> For each listening port, IPC {{Server#Listener#Reader}} is a single thread in 
> charge of moving {{Connection}} items from {{pendingConnections}} (capacity 
> 100) to the {{callQueue}}.
> We have experienced an incident where the {{Reader}} thread for HDFS NameNode 
> died from runtime exception. Then the {{pendingConnections}} queue became 
> full and the NameNode port became inaccessible.
> In our particular case, what killed {{Reader}} was a NPE caused by 
> https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8024883. But in general, other types 
> of runtime exceptions could cause this issue as well.
> We should add logic to either make the {{Reader}} more robust in case of 
> runtime exceptions, or at least treat it as a FATAL exception so that 
> NameNode can fail over to standby, and admins get alerted of the real issue.
