Michael Dürig updated OAK-4291:
-------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Task)
> FileStore.flush prone to races leading to corruption
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OAK-4291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4291
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: segment-next
> Reporter: Michael Dürig
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: resilience
> Fix For: 1.6
>
>
> There is a small window in {{FileStore.flush}} that could lead to data
> corruption: if we crash right after setting the persisted head but before any
> delay-flushed {{SegmentBufferWriter}} instance flushes (see
> {{SegmentBufferWriterPool.returnWriter()}}) then that data is lost although
> it might already be referenced from the persisted head.
> We need to come up with a test case for this.
> A possible fix would be to return a future from {{SegmentWriter.flush}} and
> rely on a completion callback. Such a change would most likely also be useful
> for OAK-3690.
