[jira] [Created] (CHUKWA-593) Archive daemon: infinite loop at midnight

Archive daemon: infinite loop at midnight
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: CHUKWA-593
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-593
             Project: Chukwa
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: MR Data Processors
    Affects Versions: 0.4.0
         Environment: Debian 5.0, Hadoop 0.20
            Reporter: Sourygna Luangsay
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.5.0, 0.4.0


The archive manager Chukwa daemon enters an infinite loop between 24H to 1H. This entails an increase of the namenode load and a huge increase of both chukwa and namenode logs.

Problem seems to come from the start function of ChukwaArchiveManager.java (in package org/apache/hadoop/chukwa/extraction/archive). At midnight, we get two directories in /chukwa/dataSinkArchives/ (one for the last day and one for the new day). This means that we neither enter the "daysInRawArchiveDir.length == 0" condition nor the "daysInRawArchiveDir.length == 1" one. processDay function is then called but few is done due to "modificationDate < oneHourAgo" condition.
Finally, we loop without having slept or deleted last day directory. Such process repeats itself during one hour.

Here is how I propose to change the "daysInRawArchiveDir.length == 1" condition block in the start function:
148         if (daysInRawArchiveDir.length >= 1 ) {
149           long nextRun = lastRun + (2*ONE_HOUR) - (1*60*1000);// 2h -1min
150           if (now < nextRun) {
151             log.info("lastRun < 2 hours so skip archive for now, going to sleep for 30 minutes, currentDate is:" + new java.util.Date());
152             Thread.sleep(30 * 60 * 1000);
153             continue;
154           }
155         }

As for me, it removed the infinite loop problem. But maybe there is a reason to separate "1 directory" case from "many directories" case. I've been reading documentation and subversion but could not find it.
If there is one, could someone explain it to me?

Regards.

Sourygna Luangsay commented on CHUKWA-593:
------------------------------------------

My collectors, archive manager and every hadoop components of my cluster are NTP synced and have the same timezone.

I understand the reason for daysInRawArchiveDir.length==1 instead of >=1. So maybe the fix should be in the processDay function. For instance, in the for loop, maybe we could change the condition "if (modificationDate < oneHourAgo) " for something like that: "if (modificationDate < oneHourAgo || workingDay < currentDay)" (I haven't tried this solution so I'm not sure if it's OK, I think I am going to keep the one I said in my first post since it works and remove the infinite loop). Such new condition would avoid latency, no?

Eric Yang commented on CHUKWA-593:
----------------------------------

processDay function should delete the previous day directory, if the previous day directory is empty.  The hour between 2 days, the system is design to archive for previous day as soon as possible

Do you have collectors running in multiple timezones, or server clock is out of sync by one hour?

The busy loop should not happen unless there something continue to write to the previous day directory.  daysInRawArchiveDir.length==1 is to ensure the roll up for previous day happens as soon as possible.

If we change to >=1 then the roll up for previous day will not occur until 1:59AM of the current day.  We should avoid this latency, if possible.

{noformat}
if (modificationDate < oneHourAgo || workingDay < currentDay)
{noformat}

+1, looks like the right fix.
