Thanks Uma for the review.

Do you think, we need warn/log to the user that xattr attempting to remove does 
not exist?
{quote}
make sense, let's add a log when removing nonexistent xattr.

Pls remove empty line between

OK

When existing and updated xattrs equal then we need not even call 
updateINodeXAttr. So code can be changed to 
{code}
if (existingXAttrs.size() != newXAttrs.size()) {
  XAttrStorage.updateINodeXAttrs(inode, newXAttrs, snapshotId);
  return xAttr;
}
return null; 
{code}

Right, I will update it

> When a new xattrs set on an Inode, it may add this with OP_SET_XATTRS and 
> let's say [user.name1:value1]
> On a next call if we set another xattrs, then it may store along with older 
> existing xattrs again. It may be like [user.name1:value1, user.name2:value2]
> So, on adding more xattrs on same Inode, that list may grow and we keep store 
> the entries of already existing name, value fairs.
> Right now we defaulted the max Xattrs on an Inode to 32 and configured. If 
> user modified it to much larger value and start setting xattrs, then edits 
> loading may create issue like my above example.
> But I didn't refer any usecase of having large number of xattrs, this is just 
> the assumption to consider a case. My biggest doubt is whether we will have 
> such real usecases to have huge xattrs on a single INode.
> So, here is a thought on having OP_SET_XATTR for each setXAttr operation to 
> be logged, When we replay them we need to consolidate. This is some initial 
> thought we can think more if others also feel we need to consider this case 
> to handle.
> Otherwise we endup storing Xattrs entries in editlog file as n(n+1)/2 where n 
> is number xattrs for a file/dir. This may be issue only when we have large 
> number configured max xattrs for inode.
