Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-909:
------------------------------------------
I see it passed Hudson
http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/view/Hdfs/job/Hdfs-Patch-h2.grid.sp2.yahoo.net/153/
with one failed test TestDiskError.testLocalDirs.
When I run it on my box it does not fail, and it failed on Hudson in some other
builds.
I don't think this is related to the patch.
Todd, this marked for committing to 0.21 and 0.20.
Could you please compile the respective patches, and make sure they pass tests
on their branches.
I will commit it then.

> closing the edits log file can race with write to edits log file operation
> resulting in OP_INVALID end-of-file marker being initially overwritten by the
> concurrent (in setReadyToFlush) threads and then removed twice from the
> buffer, losing a good byte from edits log.
> Example:
> {code}
> FSNameSystem.rollEditLog() -> FSEditLog.divertFileStreams() ->
> FSEditLog.closeStream() -> EditLogOutputStream.setReadyToFlush()
> FSNameSystem.rollEditLog() -> FSEditLog.divertFileStreams() ->
> FSEditLog.closeStream() -> EditLogOutputStream.flush() ->
> EditLogFileOutputStream.flushAndSync()
> OR
> FSNameSystem.rollFSImage() -> FSIMage.rollFSImage() ->
> FSEditLog.purgeEditLog() -> FSEditLog.revertFileStreams() ->
> FSEditLog.closeStream() ->EditLogOutputStream.setReadyToFlush()
> FSNameSystem.rollFSImage() -> FSIMage.rollFSImage() ->
> FSEditLog.purgeEditLog() -> FSEditLog.revertFileStreams() ->
> FSEditLog.closeStream() ->EditLogOutputStream.flush() ->
> EditLogFileOutputStream.flushAndSync()
> VERSUS
> FSNameSystem.completeFile -> FSEditLog.logSync() ->
> EditLogOutputStream.setReadyToFlush()
> FSNameSystem.completeFile -> FSEditLog.logSync() ->
> EditLogOutputStream.flush() -> EditLogFileOutputStream.flushAndSync()
> OR
> Any FSEditLog.write
> {code}
> Access on the edits flush operations is synchronized only in the
> FSEdits.logSync() method level. However at a lower level access to
> EditsLogOutputStream setReadyToFlush(), flush() or flushAndSync() is NOT
> synchronized. These can be called from concurrent threads like in the example
> above
> So if a rollEditLog or rollFSIMage is happening at the same time with a write
> operation it can race for EditLogFileOutputStream.setReadyToFlush that will
> overwrite the the last byte (normally the FSEditsLog.OP_INVALID which is the
> "end-of-file marker") and then remove it twice (from each thread) in
> flushAndSync()! Hence there will be a valid byte missing from the edits log
> that leads to a SecondaryNameNode silent failure and a full HDFS failure upon
> cluster restart.
> We got to this point after investigating a corrupted edits file that made
> HDFS unable to start with
> {code:title=namenode.log}
> java.io.IOException: Incorrect data format. logVersion is -20 but
> writables.length is 768.

> org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLog.loadEditRecords(FSEditLog.java:450

> EDIT: moved the logs to a comment to make this readable
