Haoze Wu commented on HDFS-15869:
---------------------------------
{quote}So, is the scenario described in this jira a real world case? Or it is a
behavior exposed only triggered applying a fault injection?
{quote}
Thanks [~ahussein] for pointing out this issue. I understand that fault
injection may trigger lots of false positives, so we do find evidence to
justify this "injection" before we submit this jira issue. This kind of network
hanging is observed in real world. See ZOOKEEPER-2201 and [this
talk|https://www.usenix.org/conference/srecon16/program/presentation/nadolny],
which explains the issue in TCP level. That's why I think we can also consider
it in Hadoop.
{quote}If you think that HDFS-15486 summarizes the problem in FSEditLogAsync,
then I suggest that you append a new evaluation based on hadoop-3.4 to prove
that the problem still exists. Then this very jira needs to be marked as a
duplicate.

[~hexiaoqiao] Do you have the evaluation scripts for HDFS-15486?

> If the sendResponse operation in line 365 gets stuck, then the whole
> FSEditLogAsync thread is not able to proceed. In this case, the critical
> logSync (line 243) can’t be executed, for the incoming transactions. Then the
> namenode hangs. This is undesirable because FSEditLogAsync’s key feature is
> asynchronous edit logging that is supposed to tolerate slow I/O.
> To see why the sendResponse operation in line 365 may get stuck, here is
> the stack trace:
> {code:java}
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server,channelWrite,3593)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server,access$1700,139)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Responder,processResponse,1657)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Responder,doRespond,1727)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Connection,sendResponse,2828)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Connection,access$300,1799)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$RpcCall,doResponse,1111)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Call,doResponse,903)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Call,sendResponse,889)',
>
> '(org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLogAsync$RpcEdit,logSyncNotify,365)',
> '(org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLogAsync,run,248)',
> '(java.lang.Thread,run,748)'
> {code}
> The `channelWrite` function is defined as follows:
> {code:java}
> //hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/ipc/Server.java
> private int channelWrite(WritableByteChannel channel,
> ByteBuffer buffer) throws IOException {
>
> int count = (buffer.remaining() <= NIO_BUFFER_LIMIT) ?
> channel.write(buffer) : channelIO(null, channel, buffer);
> // line 3594
> if (count > 0) {
> rpcMetrics.incrSentBytes(count);
> }
> return count;
> }{code}
> The `channel.write(buffer)` operation in line 3594 may be slow. Although
> for this specific stack trace, the channel is initialized in the non-blocking
> mode, there is still a chance of being slow depending on native write
> implementation in the OS (e.g., a kernel issue). Furthermore, the channelIO
> invocation in line 3594 may also get stuck, since it waits until the buffer
> is drained:
> {code:java}
> //hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/ipc/Server.java
> private static int channelIO(...) throws IOException {
> //...
> while (buf.remaining() > 0) { //
> line 3637
> try {
> int ioSize = Math.min(buf.remaining(), NIO_BUFFER_LIMIT);
> buf.limit(buf.position() + ioSize);
>
> ret = (readCh == null) ? writeCh.write(buf) : readCh.read(buf); //
> line 3642
>
> if (ret < ioSize) {
> break;
> } } finally {
> buf.limit(originalLimit);
> }
> } int nBytes = initialRemaining - buf.remaining();
> return (nBytes > 0) ? nBytes : ret;
> }
> {code}
> For example, if the payload is split in two batches, the second batch
> will have to wait for the first batch to be sent out, which may encounter
> high packet loss rate and thus slow I/O.
> In summary, FSEditLogAsync is a critical service, but the potential delay
> occurring in `edit.logSyncNotify(syncEx)` can block the FSEditLogAsync
> thread. According to the comment
> ([https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/rel/release-3.2.2/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/namenode/FSEditLogAsync.java#L369]),
> “don't care if not sent”, FSEditLogAsync thread in fact does not really need
> to be concerned with the sync notification.
> By the way, we found that this issue is related to HDFS-15486 in the old
> version Hadoop.
> *Reproduction*
> To show that the potential delay introduced by
> `FSEditLogAsync$RpcEdit.logSyncNotify` can cause the namenode to hang, we
> provide the scripts to reproduce the bug.
> The script basically blocks the FSEditLogAsync thread when it’s invoking
> `call.sendResponse()` in `FSEditLogAsync$RpcEdit#logSyncNotify`. Our
> reproduction scripts guarantee that the delay is injected once and only once.
> The reproduction script is provided in a gist
> ([https://gist.github.com/functioner/891108ee54e24f155ac395a65e46cbfd]).
> *Fix*
> Since the `logSyncNotify` is not a critical operation for
> `FSEditLogAsync`, we propose to put the
> `FSEditLogAsync$RpcEdit.logSyncNotify` invocation to a separate thread in
> `FSEditLogAsync`. In this way, even if the notifications get stuck, they will
> not affect the edit logging.
