Virajith Jalaparti commented on HDFS-15915:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks for finding this and providing a fix [~shv]. A few questions:
# Nit: Should the default implementation of
{{EditLogOutputStream#getLastJournalledTxId}} return a value of -1 instead of 0
as 0 can be a valid txid?
# Nit: In the current implementation, the return value of {{beginTransaction}}
is used to get the start time in one place but ignored in other places. Should
we just make it return void and force the caller to track the start time?
# Without this change, the previous implementation seems to have relied on the
ordering within the queue (elements added under the FSN lock)
({{FSEditLogAsync#editPendingQ}}) to ensure that the order in which edits are
assigned txids is the same in which they are processed. Why is that not
sufficient?
> Race condition with async edits logging due to updating txId outside of the
> namesystem log

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hdfs, namenode
> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
> Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko

>
> {{FSEditLogAsync}} creates an {{FSEditLogOp}} and populates its fields inside
> {{FSNamesystem.writeLock}}. But one essential field the transaction id of the
> edits op remains unset until the time when the operation is scheduled for
> synching. At that time {{beginTransaction()}} will set the the
> {{FSEditLogOp.txid}} and increment the global transaction count. On busy
> NameNode this event can fall outside the write lock.
> This causes problems for Observer reads. It also can potentially reshuffle
> transactions and Standby will apply them in a wrong order.
