HA: Automatically trigger log rolls periodically on the active NN
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2737
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2737
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: ha, name-node
Affects Versions: HA branch (HDFS-1623)
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Assignee: Todd Lipcon
Currently, the edit log tailing process can only read finalized log segments.
So, if the active NN is not rolling its logs periodically, the SBN will lag a
lot. This also causes many datanode messages to be queued up in the
PendingDatanodeMessage structure.
To combat this, the active NN needs to roll its logs periodically -- perhaps
based on a time threshold, or perhaps based on a number of transactions. I'm
not sure yet whether it's better to have the NN roll on its own or to have the
SBN ask the active NN to roll its logs.
