Anu Engineer commented on HDFS-11154:
-------------------------------------
bq. The operations calling into StorageManager are already syncd on
StorageManager's own lock. The next patch will include locks for those
operations on the levelDB instance.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but let me walk you through an extreme scenario. This
is more of an exercise to make sure that my understanding is correct.
Client Thread 1: Calls into DeleteVolume , executes storageManager.deleteVolume
; thread gets suspended.
Client Thread 2: Calls into createVolume, with the same username and volume
name -- Since thread1 has executed storageManager.deleteVolume,
storageManager.createVolume is successful. Thread 2 goes to execute
writeToPresistentStore, we return success to the caller.
Thread 1 wakes up, continues the deleteCall by removeFromPersistentStore, but
in this case the Database Key is from createVolume call from the Thread2 and
not from the createVolume call that you had when you called deleteVolume.
So the client gets two success calls, but in some strange cases the volume will
not exist. In other words, there seems to be a race condition.

> Currently, all the storage state are kept in server memory. If server
> crashes, we would lose all the volume information. This JIRA stores server
> internal state into its local disk. Such that on server failure, we can
> simply restart server and restore volume information from disk.
> More specifically, the internal state written to disk is mainly the mapping
> from volume to its underlying containers, plus some meta information such as
> volume size, block size, etc.
> Note that this is only a simple, minimum set mechanism for persistence. It is
> more like a counterpart of fsimage in HDFS, but without edit logs.
