---------------------------------
Summary: Call recoverLease on DFSOutputStream close exception
Key: HDFS-14694
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14694
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: hdfs-client
Reporter: Chen Zhang
HDFS uses file-lease to manage opened files, when a file is not closed
normally, NN will recover lease automatically after hard limit exceeded. But
for a long running service(e.g. HBase), the hdfs-client will never die and NN
don't have any chance to recover the file.
Usually client needs to process exceptions to avoid this condition(e.g. HBase
will automatically recover lease for files that not closed normally), but in
our experience, most services (in our company) don't process this condition
properly, which will cause lots of files in abnormal status and even data loss.
This Jira propose to add a feature that call recoverLease operation
automatically when DFSOutputSteam close encounters exception. It should be
disabled by default, but when somebody builds a long-running service based on
HDFS, they can enable this option.
We've add this feature to our internal distribution for more than 3 years, it's
quite useful according our experience.
