Description

The NM does not fail over correctly when the network cable of the RM is unplugged or the failure is simulated by a "service network stop" or a firewall that drops all traffic on the node. The RM fails over to the standby node when the failure is detected as expected. The NM should than re-register with the new active RM. This re-register takes a long time (15 minutes or more). Until then the cluster has no nodes for processing and applications are stuck.

Reproduction test case which can be used in any environment:

• create a cluster with 3 nodes
  node 1: ZK, NN, JN, ZKFC, DN, RM, NM
  node 2: ZK, NN, JN, ZKFC, DN, RM, NM
  node 3: ZK, JN, DN, NM
• start all services make sure they are in good health
• kill the network connection of the RM that is active using one of the network kills from above
• observe the NN and RM failover
• the DN's fail over to the new active NN
• the NM does not recover for a long time
• the logs show a long delay and traces show no change at all

The stack traces of the NM all show the same set of threads. The main thread which should be used in the re-register is the "Node Status Updater" This thread is stuck in:

The client connection which goes through the proxy can be traced back to the ResourceTrackerPBClientImpl. The generated proxy does not time out and we should be using a version which takes the RPC timeout (from the configuration) as a parameter.
