Konstantin Shvachko updated HDFS-909:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: hdfs-909-branch-0.21.txt
Not sure how much 0.21 is abandoned. I hear people use it with HBase. Here is
the patch.
> Race condition between rollEditLog or rollFSImage ant FSEditsLog.write
> operations corrupts edits log

> 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.
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLog.loadEditRecords(FSEditLog.java:450
> {code}
> EDIT: moved the logs to a comment to make this readable
