> SplitShard creates a mutex over the whole collection, but, in practice, this
> is a big scaling problem. Multiple split shard operations could happen at
> the time time, as long as different shards are being split. In practice,
> those shards often reside on different machines, so there's no I/O bottleneck
> in those cases, just the mutex in Overseer forcing the operations to be done
> serially.
> Given that a single split can take many minutes on a large collection, this
> is a bottleneck at scale.
> Here is the proposed new design
> There are various Collection operations performed at Overseer. They may need
> exclusive access at various levels. Each operation must define the Access
> level at which the access is required. Access level is an enum.
> CLUSTER(0)
> COLLECTION(1)
> SHARD(2)
> REPLICA(3)
> The Overseer node maintains a tree of these locks. The lock tree would look
> as follows. The tree can be created lazily as and when tasks come up.
> {code}
> Legend:
> C1, C2 -> Collections
> S1, S2 -> Shards
> R1,R2,R3,R4 -> Replicas
> Cluster

> {code}
> When the overseer receives a message, it tries to acquire the appropriate
> lock from the tree. For example, if an operation needs a lock at a Collection
> level and it needs to operate on Collection C1, the node C1 and all child
> nodes of C1 must be free.
> h2.Lock acquiring logic
> Each operation would start from the root of the tree (Level 0 -> Cluster) and
> start moving down depending upon the operation. After it reaches the right
> node, it checks if all the children are free from a lock. If it fails to
> acquire a lock, it remains in the work queue. A scheduler thread waits for
> notification from the current set of tasks . Every task would do a
> {{notify()}} on the monitor of the scheduler thread. The thread would start
> from the head of the queue and check all tasks to see if that task is able to
> acquire the right lock. If yes, it is executed, if not, the task is left in
> the work queue.
> When a new task arrives in the work queue, the schedulerthread wakes and just
> try to schedule that task.
