Amit Nithian commented on HDFS-1542:
------------------------------------

How can I verify that latter condition? (DN in the pipeline being inaccessible)? I restarted the cluster in case but is there some simple checks. I am curious if this bug has always been in the source code or if this was recently introduced?

> Configuration.writeXml holds a lock on itself and then writes the XML to an output stream, during which DFSOutputStream will try to get a lock on ackQueue/dataQueue. Meanwihle the DataStreamer thread will call functions like conf.getInt() and deadlock against the other thread, since it could be the same conf object.
> This causes a deterministic deadlock whenever the serialized form is larger than block size.
