Stephen O'Donnell commented on HDFS-15907:
------------------------------------------
Thanks for committing [~ayushtkn]. The issue reported in HDFS-15792 is only
relevant when parallel image loading is enabled. This was delivered in
HDFS-14617, which is only on 3.3, trunk and 2.10. Therefore I think its fine
that HDFS-15792 and this one is only on branch-3.3.
The branch-2.10 version of HDFS-15792 is different and doesn't use AtomicInt
for Java 7 compatibility reasons.
> Reduce Memory Overhead of AclFeature by avoiding AtomicInteger
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-15907
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15907
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode
> Reporter: Stephen O'Donnell
> Assignee: Stephen O'Donnell
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.3.1, 3.4.0
>
> Attachments: HDFS-15907.001.patch
>
>
> In HDFS-15792 we made some changes to the AclFeature and ReferenceCountedMap
> classes to address a rare bug when loading the FSImage in parallel.
> One change we made was to replace an int inside AclFeature with an
> AtomicInteger to avoid synchronising the methods in AclFeature.
> Discussing this change with [~weichiu], he pointed out that while the
> AclFeature cache is intended to reduce the count of AclFeature objects, on a
> large cluster, it is possible for there to be many millions of AclFeature
> objects.
> Previously, the int will have taken 4 bytes of heap.
> By moving to a AtomicInteger, we probably have an overhead of:
> 4 bytes (or 8 if the heap is over 32GB) for a reference to the atomic long
> object
> 12 byte overhead for the java object
> 4 bytes inside the atomic long to store an int.
>
> So the total heap overhead has gone from 4 bytes to 20 bytes just to use an
> AtomicInteger.
> Therefore I think it makes sense to remove the AtomicInteger and just
> synchronise the methods of AclFeature where the value is incremented /
> decremented / retrieved.
