    • Zero values for dfs.socket.timeout and dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout are now respected. Previously zero values for these parameters resulted in a 5 second timeout.

    Description

      dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout is used for sockets to and from datanodes. It is 8 minutes by default. Some users set this to 0, effectively disabling the write timeout (for some specific reasons).

      When this is set to 0, DFSClient sets the timeout to 5 seconds by mistake while writing to DataNodes. This is exactly the opposite of real intention of setting it to 0 since 5 seconds is too short.
