>
> BucketWriter has several race conditions that came up during my performance
> testing over the weekend. One issue that caused data loss was the lack of
> atomic close() and open() semantics related to the "retry" mechanism after
> the abort() call in HDFSEventSink.process().
> Another issue is the lack of clearly delineated responsibilities for calling
> open(), flush(), close(), etc. For example, HDFSEventSink.start() calls
> open(), HDFSEventSink.process() calls and abort() which calls open(), and
> BucketWriter.append() also calls close() and open().
> There is another race condition related to the JVM shutdown hooks, which
> cause .tmp files not to be renamed.
> These APIs need to be refactored and their responsibilities need to be
> clarified.
