[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-16380) S3Guard tombstones can mislead about directory empty status

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steve Loughran updated HADOOP-16380:
------------------------------------
    Summary: S3Guard tombstones can mislead about directory empty status  (was: ITestS3AContractRootDir failing on trunk: tombstones mislead about directory empty status)

>                 Key: HADOOP-16380
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16380
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>          Components: fs/s3, test
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.0, 3.0.3, 3.3.0, 3.1.2
>            Reporter: Steve Loughran
>            Assignee: Steve Loughran
>            Priority: Critical

> If S3AFileSystem does an S3 LIST restricted to a single object to see if a directory is empty, and the single entry found has a tombstone marker (either from an inconsistent DDB Table or from an eventually consistent LIST) then it will consider the directory empty, _even if there is 1+ entry which is not deleted_
> We need to make sure the calculation of whether a directory is empty or not is resilient to this, efficiently. 
> It surfaces  as an issue two places
> * delete(path) (where it may make things worse)
> * rename(src, dest), where a check is made for dest != an empty directory.
