Suresh Srinivas resolved HDFS-1648. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed] I committed the patch. Thank you Tanping. > Federation: Only DataStorage must be locked using in_use.lock and no locks > must be associated with BlockPoolStorage > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1648 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1648 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: data-node > Affects Versions: Federation Branch > Reporter: Tanping Wang > Assignee: Tanping Wang > Fix For: Federation Branch > > Attachments: HDFS-1648.patch > > > StorageDirectory locks in_use.lock file, when analyzeStorage() method is > called during > initialization. > Since BlockPoolStorage uses this method, an in_use.lock file is created and > locked under BlockPool directory > <StorageDirectory>/current/bpid/. This lock is not released when datanode > shutsdown. Restarting datanode without > formatting it results in datanode failure to acquire in_use.lock and hence > failure to restart. > in_use.lock file that currently exists in <StorageDirectory> (at the datanode > level) is sufficient to prevent two > instances of datanodes running on the same node. There is no need for such a > lock in block pool directories. > Change is needed so that BlockPoolStorage can disable locking when it creates > it's StorageDirectory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
