Varun Sharma commented on HDFS-4721:
------------------------------------
[~szetszwo]
I had a question about lease recovery in general. What I am finding is that
they are actually two different things... lease recovery can occur and the
lease be reassigned to someone else while the block has not been recovered
which is, its totally possible for lease to be recovered without the block
being recovered and the file being closed. Is that correct ? Basically, I see
that call "recoverLease" - lease is recovered and block recovery enqueued for
bad replica (without this patch). Call recoverLease again and it says lease
recovery was successful even though the block was never recovered. Is this
known behaviour ?
Thanks

> This was observed while doing HBase WAL recovery. HBase uses append to write
> to its write ahead log. So initially the pipeline is setup as
> DN1 --> DN2 --> DN3
> This WAL needs to be read when DN1 fails since it houses the HBase
> regionserver for the WAL.
> HBase first recovers the lease on the WAL file. During recovery, we choose
> DN1 as the primary DN to do the recovery even though DN1 has failed and is
> not heartbeating any more.
> Avoiding the stale DN1 would speed up recovery and reduce hbase MTTR. There
> are two options.
> a) Ride on HDFS 3703 and if stale node detection is turned on, we do not
> choose stale datanodes (typically not heart beated for 20-30 seconds) as
> primary DN(s)
> b) We sort the replicas in order of last heart beat and always pick the ones
> which gave the most recent heart beat
> Going to the dead datanode increases lease + block recovery since the block
> goes into UNDER_RECOVERY state even though no one is recovering it actively.
> Please let me know if this makes sense. If yes, whether we should move
> forward with a) or b).
> Thanks
