Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-22784:
----------------------------------------
So in the replication flow, even if the Filter(s) filter WAL entries from
getting replicated to other cluster, we should make sure to move the log
position forward.
Even on RS restart things not getting changed means it is not because of some
possible causes making one thread to go deadlock or blocked. Looks like ur
analysis is correct.
> OldWALs not cleared in a replication slave cluster (cyclic replication bw 2

> Key: HBASE-22784
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22784
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: regionserver, Replication
> Affects Versions: 1.4.9, 1.4.10
> Reporter: Solvannan R M
> Assignee: Wellington Chevreuil
> Priority: Major
>
> When a cluster is passive (receiving edits only via replication) in a cyclic
> replication setup of 2 clusters, OldWALs size keeps on growing. On analysing,
> we observed the following behaviour.
> # New entry is added to WAL (Edit replicated from other cluster).
> # ReplicationSourceWALReaderThread(RSWALRT) reads and applies the configured
> filters (due to cyclic replication setup, ClusterMarkingEntryFilter discards
> new entry from other cluster).
> # Entry is null, RSWALRT neither updates the batch stats
> (WALEntryBatch.lastWalPosition) nor puts it in the entryBatchQueue.
> # ReplicationSource thread is blocked in entryBachQueue.take().
> # So ReplicationSource#updateLogPosition has never invoked and WAL file is
> never cleared from ReplicationQueue.
> # Hence LogCleaner on the master, doesn't deletes the oldWAL files from
> hadoop.
> NOTE: When a new edit is added via hbase-client, ReplicationSource thread
> process and clears the oldWAL files from replication queues and hence master
> cleans up the WALs
> Please provide us a solution
