    Description

      I've observed the following race condition in TestFairSchedulerSystem which uses a MiniMRCluster on top of RawLocalFileSystem:

      • two threads call getStagingDir at the same time
      • Thread A checks fs.exists(stagingArea) and sees false
        • Calls mkdirs(stagingArea, JOB_DIR_PERMISSIONS)
          • mkdirs calls the Java mkdir API which makes the file with umask-based permissions
      • Thread B runs, checks fs.exists(stagingArea) and sees true
        • checks permissions, sees the default permissions, and throws IOE
      • Thread A resumes and sets correct permissions
