----------------------------------
Yeah, a UT and two minor fix.
> Race condition surrounding in progress snapshot handling in snapshot cache
> leads to loss of snapshot files

> The root cause is race condition surrounding in progress snapshot(s) handling
> between refreshCache() and getUnreferencedFiles().
> There are two callers of refreshCache: one from RefreshCacheTask#run and the
> other from SnapshotHFileCleaner.
> Let's look at the code of refreshCache:
> {code}
> if (!name.equals(SnapshotDescriptionUtils.SNAPSHOT_TMP_DIR_NAME)) {
> {code}
> whose intention is to exclude in progress snapshot(s).
> Suppose when the RefreshCacheTask runs refreshCache, there is some in
> progress snapshot (about to finish).
> When SnapshotHFileCleaner calls getUnreferencedFiles(), it sees that
> lastModifiedTime is up to date. So cleaner proceeds to check in progress
> snapshot(s). However, the snapshot has completed by that time, resulting in
> some file(s) deemed unreferenced.
> Here is timeline given by Josh illustrating the scenario:
> At time T0, we are checking if F1 is referenced. At time T1, there is a
> snapshot S1 in progress that is referencing a file F1. refreshCache() is
> called, but no completed snapshot references F1. At T2, the snapshot S1,
> which references F1, completes. At T3, we check in-progress snapshots and S1
> is not included. Thus, F1 is marked as unreferenced even though S1 references
> it.
