----------------------------------
Summary: Token expiration edits may cause log corruption or
deadlock
Key: HDFS-13112
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13112
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: namenode
Affects Versions: 0.23.8, 2.1.0-beta
Reporter: Daryn Sharp
Assignee: Daryn Sharp
HDFS-4477 specifically did not acquire the fsn lock during token cancellation
based on the belief that edit logs are thread-safe. However, log rolling is
not thread-safe. Failure to externally synchronize on the fsn lock during a
roll will cause problems.
For sync edit logging, it may cause corruption by interspersing edits with the
end/start segment edits. Async edit logging may encounter a deadlock if the
log queue overflows. Luckily, losing the race is extremely rare. In ~5 years,
we've never encountered it. However, HDFS-13051 lost the race with async edits.
