Xiao Chen commented on HDFS-13112:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the comments Daryn. Given this really is just update master key
which is infrequent, I'm +1 on the patch as-is too.
> Token expiration edits may cause log corruption or deadlock

> Key: HDFS-13112
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13112
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta, 0.23.8
> Reporter: Daryn Sharp
> Assignee: Daryn Sharp
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HDFS-13112.1.patch, HDFS-13112.patch

> HDFS-4477 specifically did not acquire the fsn lock during token cancellation
> based on the belief that edit logs are thread-safe. However, log rolling is
> not thread-safe. Failure to externally synchronize on the fsn lock during a
> roll will cause problems.
> For sync edit logging, it may cause corruption by interspersing edits with
> the end/start segment edits. Async edit logging may encounter a deadlock if
> the log queue overflows. Luckily, losing the race is extremely rare. In ~5
> years, we've never encountered it. However, HDFS-13051 lost the race with
> async edits.
