+
+## Abstract
+
+Currently in Hudi, distributed locking relies on external systems like 
Zookeeper, which add complexity and extra dependencies. This RFC introduces a 
storage-based implementation of the `LockProvider` interface that utilizes 
conditional writes in cloud storage platforms (such as GCS and AWS S3) to 
implement a native distributed locking mechanism for Hudi. By directly 
integrating lock management with cloud storage, this solution reduces 
operational overhead, and ensures robust coordination during concurrent writes.
+
+## Background
+
+AWS S3 recently introduced conditional writes, and GCS and Azure storage 
already support them. This RFC leverages these features to implement a 
distributed lock provider for Hudi using a leader election algorithm. In this 
approach, each process attempts an atomic conditional write to a file 
calculated using the table base path. The first process to succeed is elected 
leader and takes charge of exclusive operations. This method provides a 
straightforward, reliable locking mechanism without the need for external lock 
providers.
+
+## Implementation
+
+This design implements a leader election algorithm for Apache Hudi using a 
single lock file per table stored in .hoodie folder. Each table’s lock is 
represented by a JSON file with the following fields:
+- owner: A unique UUID identifying the lock provider instance.
+- expiration: A UTC timestamp indicating when the lock expires.
+- expired: A boolean flag marking the lock as released.
+
+Example lock file path: `s3://bucket/table/.hoodie/.locks/table_lock.json`
+
+Each `LockProvider` must implement `tryLock()` and `unlock()` however we also 
need to do our own lock renewal, therefore this implementation also has 
`renewLock()`. The implementation will import a service using reflection which 
writes to S3/GCS/Azure based on the provided location to write the locks. This 
ensures the main logic for conditional writes is shared regardless of the 
underlying storage.
+
+`tryLock()`
+- No Existing Lock: If the lock file doesn’t exist, a new lock file is created 
with the current instance’s details using a conditional write that only 
succeeds if the file is absent.
+- Existing Lock – Not Expired: If a valid (non-expired) lock exists, the 
process refrains from taking the lock.
+- Existing Lock – Expired: If the lock file exists but is expired, this is 
overwritten with a new lock file payload using conditional writes. This write 
has a precondition based on the current file’s unique tag from cloud storage to 
ensure the write succeeds only if no other process has updated it in the 
meantime. If another process manages to overwrite the lock file first, a 412 
precondition failure will return and the lock will not be acquired.
+
+`renewLock()`
+- Purpose: Periodically extend the lock’s expiration (the heartbeat).
+- Mechanism: Update the lock file’s expiration using a conditional write that 
verifies the unique tag from the current lock state. If the tag does not match, 
the renewal fails, indicating that the lock has been lost.
+
+`unlock()`
+- Purpose: Safely release the lock.

Review Comment:
   ```suggestion
   `unlock()`: safely releases the lock.
   ```

   ```suggestion
   `tryLock()`: guarantees that only one process can acquire the lock using the 
conditional write
   ```
