--------------------------------
Summary: Allow client-side lease renewal to be retried beyond soft-limit
Key: HDFS-4495
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4495
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hdfs-client
Affects Versions: 0.23.5, 2.0.3-alpha
Reporter: Kihwal Lee
The current lease renewal code in DFSClient gives up after several retries, if the soft limit
exceeds. This causes the client to abort. Without this self destruction behavior, lease renewal
can be retried infinitely due to unrelated low-level issue and prevent DFSClient and associated
Connection from getting garbage collected.
However, giving up at passage of the soft limit has been shown to be too fragile; A long GC
on namenode or transient network outage can make clients fail. We need the self-destruct behavior,
but clients should be allowed to retry for longer period of time.
