Lars Hofhansl updated HBASE-5623:
---------------------------------
Attachment: 5623-suggestion.txt
This one works for me.
The observation is that only with the updateLock held are we guaranteed that
this.writer is not null (as Enis pointed out correctly).
So we can get a writer with the lock held, it is known to be not-null. If that
writer has been closed we get an IOException, in which case we try again with
the instance writer and the lock held.
Not entirely pretty, but avoids the AtomicReference everywhere.

> It seems the root cause of the issue is that we open a new log writer and
> close the old one at HLog#rollWriter() holding the updateLock, but the other
> threads doing syncer() calls
> {code}
> logSyncerThread.hlogFlush(this.writer);
> {code}
> without holding the updateLock. LogSyncer only synchronizes against
> concurrent appends and flush(), but not on the passed writer, which can be
> closed already by rollWriter(). In this case, since
> SequenceFile#Writer.close() sets it's out field as null, we get the NPE.
