Aaron Fabbri commented on HADOOP-15999:
---------------------------------------
What about in-band delete (create tombstone) and then OOB create? Didn't see
this covered in the cases here but maybe I missed it. Seems like a common case
(OOB process dropping data in bucket). Might want to add a test case and
document this in a new JIRA if it is not already covered here.

> 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.
