Sean Mackrory updated HDFS-10702:
---------------------------------
Attachment: HDFS-10702.007.patch
Attaching a patch that I believe wraps up everyone's feedback so far.
Specifically:
* A SyncInfo object is used both to request current transaction info, and
submit minimum transaction info in requests - as suggested by awang to
future-proof the interface.
* I had a good look at removing that from the RPC layer. Unless it's in the
header, we'd have to add it to each individual request, and the more I look at
it the more cumbersome it is to remove. The best solution there is having an
HDFs-specific RPC header. I don't think it's that bad that it's in the RPC
header, myself - no immediate plans to use this for YARN, obviously, but
specifying bounds on the staleness of data could definitely more generally
useful for dist. systems than just in HDFS.
* On a similar note, I was a little concerned about it being a static
ThreadLocal on the RPC client, but it seems there are other analagous settings
there so I gather there's some guarantee that clients for different filesystems
are in different threads?
* I also had a look at supporting federation better. There's some more work I
need to do there - it wasn't immediately working for me the way it seems it
should. That's easy to add on later, though. I would suggest that for that and
for the optimization of using the non-checkpointing standby I file a follow-up
JIRA and build on top of this patch as-is.
* I had a look at the checkpointer, and I didn't see any dangerous assumptions
that it was the only one reading the state.
Thanks for the reviews everyone!

> Currently, clients must always talk to the active NameNode when performing
> any metadata operation, which means active NameNode could be a bottleneck for
> scalability. One way to solve this problem is to send read-only operations to
> Standby NameNode. The disadvantage is that it might be a stale read.
> Here, I'm thinking of adding a Client API to enable/disable stale read from
> Standby which gives Client the power to set the staleness restriction.
