Hairong Kuang updated HDFS-1112:
--------------------------------
Attachment: editLogBuf.patch
Here is a patch for review. It's tricky to get the synchronization right. In
the patch, a flag isAutoSyncScheduled is introduced to make sure that no one
can write the edit log buffer once it is determined that an automatic sync
should be done and before double buffer is swapped,
> Edit log buffer should not grow unboundedly

>
> Currently HDFS does not impose an upper limit on the edit log buffer. In case
> there are a large number of open operations coming in with access time update
> on, since open does not call sync automatically, there is a possibility that
> the buffer grow to a large size, therefore causes memory leak and full GC in
> extreme cases as described in HDFS-1104.
> The edit log buffer should be automatically flushed when the buffer becomes
> full.
