Junping Du updated HDFS-6782:
-----------------------------
Target Version/s: (was: 2.8.0)

> In NN, it uses a double buffer (bufCurrent, bufReady) for log sync,
> bufCurrent it to buffer new coming edit ops and bufReady is for flushing.
> This's efficient. When flush is ongoing, and bufCurrent is full, NN goes to
> force log sync, and all new Ops are blocked (since force log sync is
> protected by FSNameSystem write lock). After the flush finished, the new Ops
> are still blocked, but actually at this time, bufCurrent is free and Ops can
> go ahead and write to the buffer. The following diagram shows the detail.
> This JIRA is for this improvement. Thanks [~umamaheswararao] for confirming
> this issue.

> edit6(txid6) ------ blocked
> ...
> editn(txidn) ------ blocked
> {code}
> After edit1 finished, bufCurrent is free, and the thread which flushes txid2
> will also flushes txid3-5, so we should return from the force sync of edit5
> and FSNamesystem write lock will be freed (Don't worry that edit5 Op will
> return, since there will be a normal logSync after the force logSync and
> there will wait for sync finished). This is the idea of this JIRA.
