Apache Hadoop

— The default setting of dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy can cause an unrecoverable error in small clusters

The default setting of dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy (DEFAULT) can cause an unrecoverable error in a small cluster during HBase rolling restart.

Bug: HDFS-4257

Severity: Medium

Workaround: Set dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy to NEVER for 1- 2- or 3-node clusters, and leave it as DEFAULT for all other clusters. Leave dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.enable set to true .
