Stephen O'Donnell commented on HDFS-15160:
------------------------------------------
I updated the description and title of this Jira to expand the changes to cover
some low hanging fruit, where I believe it is quite safe to move operations
under the read lock rather than write lock.
There are some areas that need more detailed analysis, so I have omitted them
for now - we probably need to look at every lock acquisition in the datanode in
turn. One key area that may need a refactor is the block write path, where the
write lock is held while a disk operation takes place, but I plan to tackle
that in another Jira. It will be an important change as the read and write code
paths will be the most commonly called on the datanode.
I have uploaded v002 for review, provided it gets a clean test run.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: datanode
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0

> Now we have HDFS-15150, we can start to move some DN operations to use the
> read lock rather than the write lock to improve concurrence. The first step
> is to make the changes to ReplicaMap, as many other methods make calls to it.
> This Jira switches read operations against the volume map to use the readLock
> rather than the write lock.
> Additionally, some methods make a call to replicaMap.replicas() (eg
> getBlockReports, getFinalizedBlocks, deepCopyReplica) and only use the result
> in a read only fashion, so they can also be switched to using a readLock.
> Next is the directory scanner and disk balancer, which only require a read
> lock.
> Finally (for this Jira) are various "low hanging fruit" items in BlockSender
> and fsdatasetImpl where is it fairly obvious they only need a read lock.
> For now, I have avoided changing anything which looks too risky, as I think
> its better to do any larger refactoring or risky changes each in their own
> Jira.
