Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2976:
-------------------------------------------
Looks like a non-problem to me -- I'm not sure why it bothers to sort at all
(probably so that if replay is aborted you end up with data from roughly the
order it was received in) but the conflict resolution is such that the same
result will be arrived at no matter the order in which updates are applied.
It's also worth pointing out that each CL segment is replayed independently,
there is no "this must be the last segment, skip the rest" logic anywhere.
> Severe bug on commit log replay
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-2976
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2976
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.6.13
> Reporter: Zhu Han
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> For 0.6, the replay order of commit log is determined by modify time(mtime)
> of commit log files. The roll and update of a new log segment can be finished
> under 1ms if the log device is backed up by BBU or it is a SSD with super
> capacitor. So the last log segment and previous segment can have the same
> mtime.
> While File#listFiles() does not guarantee the order of return files, after
> sorting by mtime, it is possible that the new log segment are replayed before
> old log segment. This can causes data loss!
> Here is the output of log, you can observe from the timestamp in the commit
> log file names that new log segment are replayed before old segment...
