Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-15999:
-----------------------------------------
I've been aware/worrying about the deleted file problem. and length. At the
very least we need an fsck operation which can be kicked off and (throttled)
syncs up. This is needed not just for OOB resync, but for recovery from partial
failures of rename/delete where things changed and the table hasn't caught up.
For delete and even updates, we could use the TTL. Rather than be the source of
truth, have it be the source of recent truth, but after, say 60s then
outsource the check for deleted file still being missing to the FS *and
trusting it*.
> [s3a] Better support for out-of-band operations

> S3Guard was initially done on the premise that a new MetadataStore would be
> the source of truth, and that it wouldn't provide guarantees if updates were
> done without using S3Guard.
> I've been seeing increased demand for better support for scenarios where
> operations are done on the data that can't reasonably be done with S3Guard
> involved. For example:
> * A file is deleted using S3Guard, and replaced by some other tool. S3Guard
> can't tell the difference between the new file and delete / list
> inconsistency and continues to treat the file as deleted.
> * An S3Guard-ed file is overwritten by a longer file by some other tool. When
> reading the file, only the length of the original file is read.
> We could possibly have smarter behavior here by querying both S3 and the
> MetadataStore (even in cases where we may currently only query the
> MetadataStore in getFileStatus) and use whichever one has the higher modified
> time.
> This kills the performance boost we currently get in some workloads with the
> short-circuited getFileStatus, but we could keep it with authoritative mode
> which should give a larger performance boost. At least we'd get more
> correctness without authoritative mode and a clear declaration of when we can
> make the assumptions required to short-circuit the process. If we can't
> consider S3Guard the source of truth, we need to defer to S3 more.
> We'd need to be extra sure of any locality / time zone issues if we start
> relying on mod_time more directly, but currently we're tracking the
> modification time as returned by S3 anyway.
