Syed Shameerur Rahman commented on HADOOP-18797:
------------------------------------------------
This looks like a valid use-case when multiple job writes to same table but
different partitions, The MPU metadata (pendingset) of slower running jobs
might be deleted by the the jobs which completes first.
I could think of two approaches here
Approach 1: Do job level magic directory deletion ie (__magic/job_<jobId>/)
(as mentioned by [~emanuelvelzi])
1. After the job is completed delete the path __magic/job_<jobId>/
Pros
1. Concurrent writes will be supported
Cons
1. __magic directory will be visible in the table path even though it won't be
considered
2. The remains of failed job which stay forever unless manually deleted or via
some S3 policies
Inorder to solve
[HADOOP-18568|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18568] we can put
this behind a config similar to fs.s3a.cleanup.magic.enabled
Approach 2: Optional delete of __magic directory as mentioned in
[HADOOP-18568|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18568]
1. Based on the config we can choose to delete or not delete the magic directory
Pros
1. Solves both concurrent and scaling issues.
Cons
1. Say we have two spark clusters, One with config enabled to delete the
__magic and another with config disabled, If they simultaneously hit the same
table but different partition we will again hit the same concurrency issue as
mentioned in this Jira.
> S3A committer fix lost data on concurrent jobs

> Key: HADOOP-18797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18797
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs/s3
> Affects Versions: 3.3.6
> Reporter: Emanuel Velzi
> Priority: Major
>
> There is a failure in the commit process when multiple jobs are writing to a
> s3 directory *concurrently* using {*}magic committers{*}.
> This issue is closely related HADOOP-17318.
> When multiple Spark jobs write to the same S3A directory, they upload files
> simultaneously using "__magic" as the base directory for staging. Inside this
> directory, there are multiple "/job-some-uuid" directories, each representing
> a concurrently running job.
> To fix some preoblems related to concunrrency a property was introduced in
> the previous fix: "spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.committer.abort.pending.uploads". When
> set to false, it ensures that during the cleanup stage, finalizing jobs do
> not abort pending uploads from other jobs. So we see in logs this line:
> {code:java}
> DEBUG [main] o.a.h.fs.s3a.commit.AbstractS3ACommitter (819): Not cleanup up
> pending uploads to s3a ...{code}
> (from
> [AbstractS3ACommitter.java#L952|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-aws/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/s3a/commit/AbstractS3ACommitter.java#L952])
> However, in the next step, the {*}"__magic" directory is recursively
> deleted{*}:
> {code:java}
> INFO [main] o.a.h.fs.s3a.commit.magic.MagicS3GuardCommitter (98): Deleting
> magic directory s3a://my-bucket/my-table/__magic: duration 0:00.560s {code}
> (from [AbstractS3ACommitter.java#L1112
> |https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-aws/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/s3a/commit/AbstractS3ACommitter.java#L1112]and
>
> [MagicS3GuardCommitter.java#L137)|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-aws/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/s3a/commit/magic/MagicS3GuardCommitter.java#L137)]
> This deletion operation *affects the second job* that is still running
> because it loses pending uploads (i.e., ".pendingset" and ".pending" files).
> The consequences can range from an exception in the best case to a silent
> loss of data in the worst case. The latter occurs when Job_1 deletes files
> just before Job_2 executes "listPendingUploadsToCommit" to list ".pendingset"
> files in the job attempt directory previous to complete the uploads with POST
> requests.
> To resolve this issue, it's important {*}to ensure that only the prefix
> associated with the job currently finalizing is cleaned{*}.
> Here's a possible solution:
> {code:java}
> /**
> * Delete the magic directory.
> */
> public void cleanupStagingDirs() {
> final Path out = getOutputPath();
> //Path path = magicSubdir(getOutputPath());
> Path path = new Path(magicSubdir(out), formatJobDir(getUUID()));
> try(DurationInfo ignored = new DurationInfo(LOG, true,
> "Deleting magic directory %s", path)) {
> Invoker.ignoreIOExceptions(LOG, "cleanup magic directory",
> path.toString(),
> () -> deleteWithWarning(getDestFS(), path, true));
> }
> } {code}
>
> The side effect of this issue is that the "__magic" directory is never
> cleaned up. However, I believe this is a minor concern, even considering that
> other folders such as "_SUCCESS" also persist after jobs end.
