-------------------------------
Summary: Snapshot: identify the correct prior snapshot when
deleting a snapshot under a renamed subtree
Key: HDFS-4842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4842
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Jing Zhao
Assignee: Jing Zhao
In our long-term running tests for snapshot we find the following bug:
1. initially we have directories /test, /test/dir1 and /test/dir2/foo.
2. first take snapshot s0 and s1 on /test.
3. modify some descendant of foo (e.g., delete foo/bar/file), to make sure some
changes have been recorded to the snapshot diff associated with s1.
4. take snapshot s2 on /test/dir2
5. move foo from dir2 to dir1, i.e., rename /test/dir2/foo to /test/dir1/foo
6. delete snapshot s1
After step 6, the snapshot copy of foo/bar/file should have been merged from s1
to s0 (i.e., s0 should be identified as the prior snapshot of s1). However, the
current code failed to identify the correct prior snapshot in the source tree
of the rename operation and wrongly used s2 as the prior snapshot.
The bug only exists when nested snapshottable directories are enabled. To fix
the bug, we need to go upwards in the source tree of the rename operation
(i.e., dir2) to identify the correct prior snapshot in the above scenario. This
jira will fix the bug and add several corresponding unit tests.
