Chen Liang commented on HDFS-13880:
-----------------------------------
[~shv] Masync is just the current name I picked for methods that do not need to
go through the sync process (which is msync). Just replaced sync with async.
Please feel free to propose a different term :).
[~csun] thanks for the clarification. Will double check if
{{HAServiceProtocol}} is currently synced by msync.

> Currently, every single call to NameNode will be synced, in the sense that
> NameNode will not process it until state id catches up. But in certain cases,
> we would like to bypass this check and allow the call to return immediately,
> even when the server id is not up to date. One case could be the to-be-added
> new API in HDFS-13749 that request for current state id. Others may include
> calls that do not promise real time responses such as {{getContentSummary}}.
> This Jira is to add the mechanism to allow certain calls to bypass sync.
