Description

Today we got ourselves into a situation where we hard killed the cluster (kill -9 across the board on all processes) and upon restarting all DNs would permanently give up on of the NNs in our two NN HA setup (using QJM).

The HA setup is correct (prior to this we failed over the NNs many times for testing). Bouncing the DNs resolved the problem.

In the logs I see this exception:

2013-01-29 23:32:49,463 WARN  datanode.DataNode - Ending block pool service for: Block pool BP-1852726028-<ip>-1358813649047 (storage id DS-60505003-<ip>-50010-1353106051747) service to <host>/<ip>:8020

So somehow in BPServiceActor.connectToNNAndHandshake() we made it all the way to register(). Then failed in bpNamenode.registerDatanode(bpRegistration) with an IOException, which is not caught and has the block pool service fail as a whole.

No doubt that was caused by one of the NNs being a weird state. While that happened the active NN claimed that the FS was corrupted and stayed in safe mode, and DNs only registered with the standby DN. Failing over to the 2nd NN and then restarting the first NN and failing did not change that.

No amount bouncing/failing over the HA NNs would have the DNs reconnect to one of the NNs.

In BPServiceActor.register(), should we catch IOException instead of SocketTimeoutException? That way it would continue to retry and eventually connect to the NN.
