Ivan Kelly commented on BOOKKEEPER-447:
---------------------------------------
Having looked at it again, the patch isn't safe. Theres no guarantee that the
thread acquiring the semaphore will be the one which takes the freed page (it's
guaranteed by being single threaded, but that should change). I'll need to take
another look (it really should be as simple as using a semaphore, but
LedgerCacheImpl is far more complex than it needs to be).

> Bookie index page steal (LedgerCacheImpl::grabCleanPage) can cause index file
> to reflect unacknowledged entries (due to flushLedger). Suppose ledger and
> entry fail to flush due to Bookkeeper server crash, it will cause ledger
> recovery not able to use the bookie afterward, due to
> InterleavedStorageLedger::getEntry throws IOException.
> If the ackSet bookies all experience this problem (DC environment), the
> ledger will not be able to recover.
> The problem here essentially a violation of WAL. One reasonable fix is to
> track ledger flush progress (either per-ledger entry, or per-topic message).
> Do not flush index pages which tracks entries whose ledger (log) has not been
> flushed.
