Todd Lipcon created HDFS-4300: --------------------------------- Summary: TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage should use a tmp file for destination Key: HDFS-4300 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4300 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha Reporter: Todd Lipcon Assignee: Todd Lipcon Priority: Critical
Currently, in TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage, we download the edits file directly to its finalized path. So, if the transfer fails in the middle, a half-written file is left and cannot be distinguished from a correct file. So, future checkpoints by the 2NN will fail, since the file is truncated in the middle -- but it won't ever download a good copy because it thinks it already has the proper file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
