sam rash commented on HDFS-1262:
--------------------------------

verified test case passes w/o that patch.  we should commit hdfs-894 to 20-append for sure, though.  that seems like a potentially gnarly bug in tests to track down (took me a short spell)

i can upload the patch w/o the DatanodeID

> Ryan Rawson came upon this nasty bug in HBase cluster testing. What happened was the following:
> 1) File's original writer died
> 2) Recovery client tried to open file for append - looped for a minute or so until soft lease expired, then append call initiated recovery
> 3) Recovery completed successfully
> 4) Recovery client calls append again, which succeeds on the NN
> 5) For some reason, the block recovery that happens at the start of append pipeline creation failed on all datanodes 6 times, causing the append() call to throw an exception back to HBase master. HBase assumed the file wasn't open and put it back on a queue to try later
> 6) Some time later, it tried append again, but the lease was still assigned to the same DFS client, so it wasn't able to recover.
> The recovery failure in step 5 is a separate issue, but the problem for this JIRA is that the NN can think it failed to open a file for append when the NN thinks the writer holds a lease. Since the writer keeps renewing its lease, recovery never happens, and no one can open or recover the file until the DFS client shuts down.
