             Summary: NameNodeRpcServer getEditsFromTxid assumes it is run on 
active NameNode
                 Key: HDFS-13689
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13689
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: hdfs, namenode
            Reporter: Erik Krogen
            Assignee: Erik Krogen


{{NameNodeRpcServer#getEditsFromTxid}} currently decides which transactions are 
able to be served, i.e. which transactions are durable, using the following 
logic:
{code}
    long syncTxid = log.getSyncTxId();
    // If we haven't synced anything yet, we can only read finalized
    // segments since we can't reliably determine which txns in in-progress
    // segments have actually been committed (e.g. written to a quorum of JNs).
    // If we have synced txns, we can definitely read up to syncTxid since
    // syncTxid is only updated after a transaction is committed to all
    // journals. (In-progress segments written by old writers are already
    // discarded for us, so if we read any in-progress segments they are
    // guaranteed to have been written by this NameNode.)
    boolean readInProgress = syncTxid > 0;
{code}
This assumes that the NameNode serving this request is the current 
writer/active NameNode, which may not be true in the ObserverNode situation. 
Since {{selectInputStreams}} now has a {{onlyDurableTxns}} flag, which, if 
enabled, will only return durable/committed transactions, we can instead 
leverage this to provide the same functionality. We should utilize this to 
avoid consistency issues when serving this request from the ObserverNode.
