Devaraj Das commented on HBASE-6758:
------------------------------------
[~zhi...@ebaysf.com] Not sure why you got a compilation error. Will look..
[~stack] Thanks for the detailed comments. Here are the responses.
bq. Rather than change all new Replication invocations to take a null, why not
override the Replication constructor? Your patch would be smaller.
I had considered that but it didn't seem adding a new constructor is justified
in the long run. There probably are no consumers of the constructor outside
HBase, etc., and adding another constructor means new code to take care of,
etc. So although it makes the patch bigger, I think it's okay..
bq. Could there be issues with isFileInUse in multithreaded context? Should
currentFilePath be an atomic reference so all threads see the changes when they
happen? Do you think this an issue?
There shouldn't be any multithreading issues here. Each ReplicationExecutor
thread has its own copy of everything (including currentFilePath), and the
getters/setters are in the same thread context.
bq. Do we have to pass in an HRegionServer instance into
ReplicationSourceManager? Can it be one of the Interfaces Server or
RegionServerServices? Or looking at why you need it, you want it because you
want to get at HLog instance. Can we not pass this? Or better, an Interface
that has isFileInUse on it?
Yes, I tried to pass the HLog instance to Replication's constructor call within
HRegionServer. But the code is kind of tangled up. HRegionServer instantiates a
Replication object (in setupWALAndReplication). HLog is instantiated in
instantiateHLog, and the constructor of HLog invokes rollWriter. If the
Replication object was not registered prior to rollWriter call, things don't
work (which means the Replication object needs to be constructed first but the
HLog instance is not available yet). I tried fixing it but then I ran into
other issues...
But yeah, I like the interface idea. Will try to refactor the code in that
respect.

> I have seen cases where the replication-executor would lose data to replicate
> since the file hasn't been closed yet. Upon closing, the new data becomes
> visible. Before that happens the ZK node shouldn't be deleted in
> ReplicationSourceManager.logPositionAndCleanOldLogs. Changes need to be made
> in ReplicationSource.processEndOfFile as well (currentPath related).
