Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-9079:
---------------------------------
Thanks Uma.
bq. you mean 3 ?
3 is sufficient with the default EC policy. Considering other possible
policies, like 10+4, we can be a little conservative.
Regarding the other issue: even without this change, DN could have higher GS
than the NN copy in a certain time window. The protocol in this patch
guarantees that the GS is in sync on all DNs and the NN when the block is ended
-- block is full or file is closed. I think whenever the queued BR is processed
in the original logic, same processing will happen after the change. Will check
the code to make sure.

> A non-striped DataStreamer goes through the following steps in error handling:
> {code}
> 1) Finds error => 2) Asks NN for new GS => 3) Gets new GS from NN => 4)
> Applies new GS to DN (createBlockOutputStream) => 5) Ack from DN => 6)
> Updates block on NN
> {code}
> With multiple streamer threads run in parallel, we need to correctly handle a
> large number of possible combinations of interleaved thread events. For
> example, {{streamer_B}} starts step 2 in between events {{streamer_A.2}} and
> {{streamer_A.3}}.
> HDFS-9040 moves steps 1, 2, 3, 6 from streamer to {{DFSStripedOutputStream}}.
> This JIRA proposes some further optimizations based on HDFS-9040:
> # We can preallocate GS when NN creates a new striped block group
> ({{FSN#createNewBlock}}). For each new striped block group we can reserve
> {{NUM_PARITY_BLOCKS}} GS's. If more than {{NUM_PARITY_BLOCKS}} errors have
> happened we shouldn't try to further recover anyway.
> # We can use a dedicated event processor to offload the error handling logic
> from {{DFSStripedOutputStream}}, which is not a long running daemon.
> # We can limit the lifespan of a streamer to be a single block. A streamer
> ends either after finishing the current block or when encountering a DN
> failure.
> With the proposed change, a {{StripedDataStreamer}}'s flow becomes:
> {code}
> 1) Finds DN error => 2) Notify coordinator (async, not waiting for response)
> => terminates
> 1) Finds external error => 2) Applies new GS to DN (createBlockOutputStream)
> => 3) Ack from DN => 4) Notify coordinator (async, not waiting for response)
> {code}
