Gabor Bota commented on HADOOP-15999:
-------------------------------------
In my latest patch I've added texts for all asserts. I'm not able to reproduce
the issue with the test. All tests look happy to me. Shared my configs and logs
offline to figure out what could be the issue.

> S3Guard was initially done on the premise that a new MetadataStore would be
> the source of truth, and that it wouldn't provide guarantees if updates were
> done without using S3Guard.
> I've been seeing increased demand for better support for scenarios where
> operations are done on the data that can't reasonably be done with S3Guard
> involved. For example:
> * A file is deleted using S3Guard, and replaced by some other tool. S3Guard
> can't tell the difference between the new file and delete / list
> inconsistency and continues to treat the file as deleted.
> * An S3Guard-ed file is overwritten by a longer file by some other tool. When
> reading the file, only the length of the original file is read.
> We could possibly have smarter behavior here by querying both S3 and the
> MetadataStore (even in cases where we may currently only query the
> MetadataStore in getFileStatus) and use whichever one has the higher modified
> time.
> This kills the performance boost we currently get in some workloads with the
> short-circuited getFileStatus, but we could keep it with authoritative mode
> which should give a larger performance boost. At least we'd get more
> correctness without authoritative mode and a clear declaration of when we can
> make the assumptions required to short-circuit the process. If we can't
> consider S3Guard the source of truth, we need to defer to S3 more.
> We'd need to be extra sure of any locality / time zone issues if we start
> relying on mod_time more directly, but currently we're tracking the
> modification time as returned by S3 anyway.
