Virajith Jalaparti commented on HDFS-15915:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks for making the changes [~shv].
Minor comment: The {{long start = monotonicNow();}} should be done after the
call to {{beginTransaction(null);}} in lines 1637-1638 in {{logEdit}} method to
keep it consistent with others places (and previous implementation) where
{{endTransaction}} is called with the start time.
Verified that the added test fails if the changes in the patch are removed.
+1 on committing the patch once this minor comment is addressed.
> Race condition with async edits logging due to updating txId outside of the
> namesystem log

> Components: hdfs, namenode
> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
> Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: HDFS-15915-01.patch, HDFS-15915-02.patch,

> {{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.
