Ted Yu commented on HBASE-21387:
--------------------------------
bq. holding onto file names in memory
We don't need to continue referencing FileStatus from the previous pass. Path
(or String) for each file would be sufficient.
bq. where a snapshot was "orphaned" and prevent file cleaning from happening
I think by "orphaned" you are talking about not just two iterations for cleaner
chore but many iterations.
In that case, the situation in the current code base would prevent cleaning
hfiles referenced, as well.

> 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.
