Erik Krogen commented on HDFS-14370:
------------------------------------
Hey [~ayushtkn], thanks for taking a look. You raise great points. I am
thinking we have two options:
# Set the default value of the maximum time to be -1. If this value is
encountered, disable the backoff by setting the maximum to be equal to the
minimum time. I think the drawback here is that -1 could also be interpreted as
"no maximum," so this behavior may be misleading to some users.
# Change the backoff config to be a multiplier of the minimum sleep time. Set
the default to be 1, effectively disabling backoff. This has the advantage of
more consistent behavior, but determining a reasonable value may be a bit more
difficult (more math involved).
Let me know what you think.
> Edit log tailing fast-path should allow for backoff

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode, qjm
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Erik Krogen
> Assignee: Erik Krogen
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: HDFS-14370.000.patch

>
> As part of HDFS-13150, in-progress edit log tailing was changed to use an
> RPC-based mechanism, thus allowing the edit log tailing frequency to be
> turned way down, and allowing standby/observer NameNodes to be only a few
> milliseconds stale as compared to the Active NameNode.
> When there is a high volume of transactions on the system, each RPC fetches
> transactions and takes some time to process them, self-rate-limiting how
> frequently an RPC is submitted. In a lightly loaded cluster, however, most of
> these RPCs return an empty set of transactions, consuming a high
> (de)serialization overhead for very little benefit. This was reported by
> [~jojochuang] in HDFS-14276 and I have also seen it on a test cluster where
> the SbNN was submitting 8000 RPCs per second that returned empty.
> I propose we add some sort of backoff to the tailing, so that if an empty
> response is received, it will wait a longer period of time before submitting
> a new RPC.
