Daryn Sharp commented on HDFS-7964:
-----------------------------------
Thanks for the rebase. I'm currently really busy but will get to this. To
help me more quickly check the patch, are there any functional changes or just
trivial merge conflicts?
> Add support for async edit logging

> Edit logging is a major source of contention within the NN. LogEdit is
> called within the namespace write log, while logSync is called outside of the
> lock to allow greater concurrency. The handler thread remains busy until
> logSync returns to provide the client with a durability guarantee for the
> response.
> Write heavy RPC load and/or slow IO causes handlers to stall in logSync.
> Although the write lock is not held, readers are limited/starved and the call
> queue fills. Combining an edit log thread with postponed RPC responses from
> HADOOP-10300 will provide the same durability guarantee but immediately free
> up the handlers.
