Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-7609:
----------------------------------
Compared to 0.23, edit replaying in 2.x is 5x-10x slower. This affects the
namenode fail-over latency. [~mingma] also reported this issue before and saw
the retry cahe being the bottleneck.
> startup used too much time to load edits

> Key: HDFS-7609
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7609
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Carrey Zhan
> Attachments: HDFS-7609-CreateEditsLogWithRPCIDs.patch,
> recovery_do_not_use_retrycache.patch

>
> One day my namenode crashed because of two journal node timed out at the same
> time under very high load, leaving behind about 100 million transactions in
> edits log.(I still have no idea why they were not rolled into fsimage.)
> I tryed to restart namenode, but it showed that almost 20 hours would be
> needed before finish, and it was loading fsedits most of the time. I also
> tryed to restart namenode in recover mode, the loading speed had no different.
> I looked into the stack trace, judged that it is caused by the retry cache.
> So I set dfs.namenode.enable.retrycache to false, the restart process
> finished in half an hour.
> I think the retry cached is useless during startup, at least during recover
> process.
