Ekanth Sethuramalingam commented on HDFS-14317:
-----------------------------------------------

Thanks for the review Erik.
{quote} * The active parameter to waitForStandbyToCatchUpWithInProgressEdits() 
is not used.{quote}
Good catch. Will do.
{quote} * The until parameters could use a more descriptive name, like 
maxWaitSec{quote}
Will do.
{quote} * Why do we need to test with both nn0 and nn1 as active? Is there a 
difference between these two situations?{quote}
I thought about it but followed the other test which circles between the 
namenodes. I am not sure if I'll be missing something by not doing it. I'll 
remove this for now.
{quote} * It seems like there's a pretty long wait time involved. If we make 
the edit tail period to something like 10ms, can we reduce the wait 
times?{quote}
I did think about this. Unfortunately, {{dfs.ha.tail-edits.period}} and 
{{dfs.ha.log-roll.period}} are both in seconds.
{quote} * For the checkForLogRoll call on L406, it seems like waitFor() is a 
bit overkill here. Can't we just sleep for 2s and then check if it has 
changed?{quote}
This allows for reuse, consistency (with other waits in the test class) and 
fast fail. Also, I don't see this to be a huge cost to optimize for here. I can 
change it if you feel strongly about this.

> The standby uses the following method to check if it is time to trigger edit 
> log rolling on active.
> {code}
>   /**
>    * @return true if the configured log roll period has elapsed.
>    */
>   private boolean tooLongSinceLastLoad() {
>     return logRollPeriodMs >= 0 && 
>       (monotonicNow() - lastLoadTimeMs) > logRollPeriodMs ;
>   }
> {code}
> In doTailEdits(), lastLoadTimeMs is updated when standby is able to 
> successfully tail any edits
> {code}
>       if (editsLoaded > 0) {
>         lastLoadTimeMs = monotonicNow();
>       }
> {code}
> The default configuration for {{dfs.ha.log-roll.period}} is 120 seconds and 
> {{dfs.ha.tail-edits.period}} is 60 seconds. With in-progress edit log tailing 
> enabled, tooLongSinceLastLoad() will almost never return true resulting in 
> edit logs not rolled for a long time until this configuration 
> {{dfs.namenode.edit.log.autoroll.multiplier.threshold}} takes effect.
> [In our deployment, this resulted in in-progress edit logs getting deleted. 
> The sequence of events is that standby was able to checkpoint twice while the 
> in-progress edit log was growing on active. When the 
> NNStorageRetentionManager decided to cleanup old checkpoints and edit logs, 
> it cleaned up the in-progress edit log from active and QJM (as the txnid on 
> in-progress edit log was older than the 2 most recent checkpoints) resulting 
> in irrecoverably losing a few minutes worth of metadata].
