Simbarashe Dzinamarira updated HDFS-16821:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Fix regression in HDFS-13522 that enables observer reads by default. (was: HDFS clients must not use ClientGSIContext unless explicit configured to do so.)

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-16821

> Serving reads consistently from Observer Namenodes is a feature that was introduced in HDFS-12943.
> Clients opt-into this feature by configuring the ObserverReadProxyProvider. It is important that the opt-in is explicit because for third-party reads to remain consistent, these clients then need to perform an msync before reads.
> In HDFS-13522, the ClientGSIContext is implicitly added to the DFSClient thus enabling Observer reads for all clients by default. This breaks consistency guarantees for clients that haven't opted into observer reads.
> [https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/4883/files#diff-a627e2c1f3e68235520d3c28092f4ae8a41aa4557cc530e4e6862c318be7e898R352-R354]
> We need to return to the old behavior of only using the ClientGSIContext when users have explicitly opted into Observer reads.
