> 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.
