Christopher Tubbs commented on ZOOKEEPER-4504: ---------------------------------------------- I agree the behavior should be fixed (option 2), but before creating the async API, it would be good to ensure it isn't vulnerable to the same deadlock. Can an async version be created that avoids the deadlock? It's not clear from the discussion above what the actual cause was. The above description of the issue implied that a fix could be applied to HDFS to avoid the issue there (option 1). If there is a known workaround with the existing buggy version, it would be great to document that here, for anybody using the existing version. > ZKUtil#deleteRecursive causing deadlock in HDFS HA functionality > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-4504 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-4504 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Mohammad Arshad > Assignee: Mohammad Arshad > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.7.1, 3.6.4, 3.9.0, 3.8.1 > > > *Problem and Analysis:* > After integrating ZooKeeper 3.6.3 we observed deadlock in HDFS HA > functionality as shown in below thread dumps. > {code:java} > "main-EventThread" #33 daemon prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f9c017f1000 > nid=0x101b waiting for monitor entry [0x00007f9bda8a6000] > java.lang.Thread.State: BLOCKED (on object monitor) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector.processWatchEvent(ActiveStandbyElector.java:603) > - waiting to lock <0x00000000c17986c0> (a > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector$WatcherWithClientRef.process(ActiveStandbyElector.java:1193) > at > org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn$EventThread.processEvent(ClientCnxn.java:626) > at org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn$EventThread.run(ClientCnxn.java:582) > {code} > {code:java} > "main" #1 prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f9c00060000 nid=0xea3 waiting on > condition [0x00007f9c06404000] > java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (parking) > at sun.misc.Unsafe.park(Native Method) > - parking to wait for <0x00000000c1b383c8> (a > java.util.concurrent.Semaphore$NonfairSync) > at java.util.concurrent.locks.LockSupport.park(LockSupport.java:175) > at > java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.parkAndCheckInterrupt(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:838) > at > java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.doAcquireSharedInterruptibly(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:999) > at > java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.acquireSharedInterruptibly(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:1306) > at java.util.concurrent.Semaphore.acquire(Semaphore.java:467) > at org.apache.zookeeper.ZKUtil.deleteInBatch(ZKUtil.java:122) > at org.apache.zookeeper.ZKUtil.deleteRecursive(ZKUtil.java:64) > at org.apache.zookeeper.ZKUtil.deleteRecursive(ZKUtil.java:76) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector$1.run(ActiveStandbyElector.java:386) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector$1.run(ActiveStandbyElector.java:383) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector.zkDoWithRetries(ActiveStandbyElector.java:1103) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector.zkDoWithRetries(ActiveStandbyElector.java:1095) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector.clearParentZNode(ActiveStandbyElector.java:383) > - locked <0x00000000c17986c0> (a > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ZKFailoverController.formatZK(ZKFailoverController.java:290) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ZKFailoverController.doRun(ZKFailoverController.java:227) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ZKFailoverController.access$000(ZKFailoverController.java:66) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ZKFailoverController$1.run(ZKFailoverController.java:186) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ZKFailoverController$1.run(ZKFailoverController.java:182) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:360) > at > org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1741) > at > org.apache.hadoop.security.SecurityUtil.doAsLoginUserOrFatal(SecurityUtil.java:498) > at > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ZKFailoverController.run(ZKFailoverController.java:182) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.tools.DFSZKFailoverController.main(DFSZKFailoverController.java:220) > {code} > org.apache.hadoop.ha.ActiveStandbyElector#clearParentZNode is instance > synchronized and calls ZKUtil.deleteRecursive(zk, pathRoot) > ZKUtil.deleteRecursive is async API call and in callback it is invoking > ActiveStandbyElector#processWatchEvent which is synchronized on > ActiveStandbyElector instance. > So there is deadlock, clearParentZNode() is waiting processWatchEvent() to > complete and processWatchEvent() is waiting clearParentZNode to complete > > *Why this problem was not happening with earlier versions (3.5.x)?* > In earlier zk versions, ZKUtil.deleteRecursive was using sync zk API > intnernally.

We can fix the problem in HDFS, modify the HDFS code to avoid the > deadlock. But we may get similar bugs in other projects. > 2. Fix the problem in ZK. Make the API behavior same as the old behavior(use > sync API to delete the ZK node) and provide new overloaded API with new > behavior(use async API to delete the ZK node) > I propose to fix the problem with 2nd approach. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
