Kihwal Lee resolved HADOOP-13657. --------------------------------- 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
