Summary: Safely close resources in DFSTestUtil
Key: HDFS-10383
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10383
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: test
Reporter: Mingliang Liu
Assignee: Mingliang Liu
Priority: Minor
There are a few of methods in {{DFSTestUtil}} that do not close the resource
safely, or elegantly. We can use the try-with-resource statement to address
this problem.
Specially, as {{DFSTestUtil}} is popularly used in test, we need to preserve
any exceptions thrown during the processing of the resource while still
guaranteeing it's closed finally. Take for example,the current implementation
of {{DFSTestUtil#createFile()}} closes the FSDataOutputStream in the
{{finally}} block, and when closing if the internal {{DFSOutputStream#close()}}
throws any exception, which it often does, the exception thrown during the
processing will be lost. See this [test
failure|https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/9320/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hdfs/TestAsyncDFSRename/testAggressiveConcurrentAsyncRenameWithOverwrite/],
and we have to guess what was the root cause.
Using try-with-resource, we can close the resources safely, and the exceptions
thrown both in processing and closing will be available (closing exception will
be suppressed).
