### Description of PR JournalNode should throw `CacheMissException` if `sinceTxId` is bigger than `highestWrittenTxId`. And it will caused EditlogTailer can not able to tail edits. And it maybe caused ObserverNameNode can not able handle requests from clients. Suppose there are 3 journalNodes, JN0 ~ JN1. The corner case as blew: * JN0 has some abnormal cases when Active Namenode is journaling Edits with start txId 11 * NameNode just ignore the abnormal JN0 and continue to write Edits to Journal 1 and 2 * JN0 backed to health * Observer NameNode try to select EditLogInputStream vis PRC with start txId 21 * Journal 1 has some abnormal cases caused slow rpc response And the expected selecting result is: Response should contain 20 Edits from txId 21 to txId 40 from JN1 and JN2. Because Active NameNode successfully write these Edits to JN1 and JN2 and failed write these edits to JN0, so there is no Edits from id 21 to 40 in the cache of JN0. But in the current implementation, there is no Edits in the Response. Because namenode successfully got a response from JN0 that did not contains any Edits. And the bug code as blew: ``` if (sinceTxId > getHighestWrittenTxId()) { // Requested edits that don't exist yet; short-circuit the cache here metrics.rpcEmptyResponses.incr(); return GetJournaledEditsResponseProto.newBuilder().setTxnCount(0).build(); } ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
