Haohui Mai created HDFS-5245:
--------------------------------
Summary: Retry policies should return false rather than rethrow an
exception in branch-1
Key: HDFS-5245
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5245
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Haohui Mai
Assignee: Haohui Mai
A RetryPolicy inspects the exception generated when performing work and decides
to try the work again.
In branch-1 a RetryPolicy either returns false or rethrow the exception in the
shouldRetry() function to indicate it decides not to retry. However, rethrowing
an exception confuses the upstream code and causes it to print out excessive
warning messages.
This bug is fixed in trunk and branch-2.
