liwei commented on HUDI-1138:
-----------------------------
[~guoyihua] thanks .
“We may consider blocking the requests for batching so that the timeline server
sends the actual responses only after MARKERS are overwritten / updated.”
If waiting the batch requests overwrite/updated successfully. The create
marker file request from spark task will wait long time such as 200ms interval
plus the markerfiles read and overwrite.
Do you have same plan to update the marker file?

> Project: Apache Hudi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Writer Core
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Vinoth Chandar
> Assignee: Ethan Guo
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.9.0

> Even as you can argue that RFC-15/consolidated metadata, removes the need for
> deleting partial files written due to spark task failures/stage retries. It
> will still leave extra files inside the table (and users will pay for it
> every month) and we need the marker mechanism to be able to delete these
> partial files.
> Here we explore if we can improve the current marker file mechanism, that
> creates one marker file per data file written, by
> Delegating the createMarker() call to the driver/timeline server, and have it
> create marker metadata into a single file handle, that is flushed for
> durability guarantees
>
> P.S: I was tempted to think Spark listener mechanism can help us deal with
> failed tasks, but it has no guarantees. the writer job could die without
> deleting a partial file. i.e it can improve things, but cant provide
> guarantees
