> When a cluster is passive (receiving edits only via replication) in a cyclic
> replication setup of 2 clusters, OldWALs size keeps on growing. On analysing,
> we observed the following behaviour.
> # New entry is added to WAL (Edit replicated from other cluster).
> # ReplicationSourceWALReaderThread(RSWALRT) reads and applies the configured
> filters (due to cyclic replication setup, ClusterMarkingEntryFilter discards
> new entry from other cluster).
> # Entry is null, RSWALRT neither updates the batch stats
> (WALEntryBatch.lastWalPosition) nor puts it in the entryBatchQueue.
> # ReplicationSource thread is blocked in entryBachQueue.take().
> # So ReplicationSource#updateLogPosition has never invoked and WAL file is
> never cleared from ReplicationQueue.
> # Hence LogCleaner on the master, doesn't deletes the oldWAL files from
> hadoop.
> NOTE: When a new edit is added via hbase-client, ReplicationSource thread
> process and clears the oldWAL files from replication queues and hence master
> cleans up the WALs
> Please provide us a solution
