> The change to use JNI to do HDFS writes improved the interface by returning
> more useful infomration to the caller. In TRAFODION-2946, we ddescribe the
> need for LOB locking because of a condition where multiple threads writing to
> the same LOB column could interleave and cause problems. TWith the new JNI
> interface and HDFS write will now return the offset where the data was
> written. So we can use this return offset to store in the descriptor tables.
> Prior to this while using the libhdfs API, we would not get back the "written
> offset".
>
> So the order of operations before this change used to be :
> # Get the EOD for the LOB data file in HDFS
> # Store this offset into the LOB descriptor tables so we know where to
> retrieve the data from during a read.
> # call hdfsWrite to write to the LOB data file. And hope that the offset
> where the hdfsWrite writes is the same as the EOD calculated in 1. hdfs being
> an "append only"file system, this is usually how it works. But if another
> process comes in and does an insert into the LOB column between 2 and 3, then
> we have an incorrect offset stored int he descriptor tables. Hence we added a
> Lob Lock to make steps 1,2 and 3 atomic as part of Trafodion-2946 to address
> this issue.
> The order of operations with this change is as follows :
> # Call JNI hdfs Write API to write the lob data to hdfs.
> # Use return data offset from JNI hdfswrite API in 1. as the offset to store
> in the LOB descriptor tables.
> # If there are multiple chunks to write, do it in a loop and append to the
> first chunk. This way each chunk can be anywhere in hdfs and not necessarily
> continguous. But we are guaranteed that whatever we wrote will be stored in
> our interna lLOB descriptor files.
> # If any failure or TM error occurs while writing to the LOB descriptor
> tables, transaction gets rolled back and the chunk of hdfs data written
> becomes "dead data". It doesn't harm the next operation.
> # GC check is now done before an update or insert. Earlier it was done as
> part of the ::allocateDesc operation to get the EOD of the file.
