[jira] Created: (HDFS-909) Race condition between rollEditLog or rollFSImage ant FSEditsLog.write operations corrupts edits log

Race condition between rollEditLog or rollFSImage ant FSEditsLog.write operations  corrupts edits log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-909
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-909
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0
         Environment: CentOS
            Reporter: Cosmin Lehene
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.21.0, 0.22.0


closing the edits log file can race with write to edits log file operation resulting in OP_INVALID end-of-file marker being initially overwritten by the concurrent (in setReadyToFlush) threads and then removed twice from the buffer, losing a good byte from edits log.

Example:
{code}
FSNameSystem.rollEditLog() -> FSEditLog.divertFileStreams() -> FSEditLog.closeStream() -> EditLogOutputStream.setReadyToFlush()
FSNameSystem.rollEditLog() -> FSEditLog.divertFileStreams() -> FSEditLog.closeStream() -> EditLogOutputStream.flush() -> EditLogFileOutputStream.flushAndSync()
OR
FSNameSystem.rollFSImage() -> FSIMage.rollFSImage() -> FSEditLog.purgeEditLog() -> FSEditLog.revertFileStreams() -> FSEditLog.closeStream() ->EditLogOutputStream.setReadyToFlush() 
FSNameSystem.rollFSImage() -> FSIMage.rollFSImage() -> FSEditLog.purgeEditLog() -> FSEditLog.revertFileStreams() -> FSEditLog.closeStream() ->EditLogOutputStream.flush() -> EditLogFileOutputStream.flushAndSync()

VERSUS

FSNameSystem.completeFile -> FSEditLog.logSync() -> EditLogOutputStream.setReadyToFlush()
FSNameSystem.completeFile -> FSEditLog.logSync() -> EditLogOutputStream.flush() -> EditLogFileOutputStream.flushAndSync()
OR 
Any FSEditLog.write
{code}

Access on the edits flush operations is synchronized only in the FSEdits.logSync() method level. However at a lower level access to EditsLogOutputStream setReadyToFlush(), flush() or flushAndSync() is NOT synchronized. These can be called from concurrent threads like in the example above

So if a rollEditLog or rollFSIMage is happening at the same time with a write operation it can race for EditLogFileOutputStream.setReadyToFlush that will overwrite the the last byte (normally the FSEditsLog.OP_INVALID which is the "end-of-file marker") and then remove it twice (from each thread) in flushAndSync()! Hence there will be a valid byte missing from the edits log that leads to a SecondaryNameNode silent failure and a full HDFS failure upon cluster restart. 

We got to this point after investigating a corrupted edits file that made HDFS unable to start with 

{code:title=namenode.log}
java.io.IOException: Incorrect data format. logVersion is -20 but writables.length is 768. 
        at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLog.loadEditRecords(FSEditLog.java:450
{code}

In the edits file we found the first 2 entries:
{code:title=edits}
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
...
{code}
This is the completeFile operation that's missing the last byte 

{code:title=completeFile}
FFFFFFEC0900000005003F2F68626173652F64656D6F5F5F75736572732F636F6D70616374696F6E2E6469722F3336343035313634362F38333238313438373139303730333137323739000133000D31323631303832363331383335000D313236313038323632383039340008363731303838363400000003F6CBB87EF376E3E600000000040000000000000000039665F9549DE069A5735E00000000040000000000000000039665ADCC71A050B16ABF00000000015A179A0000000000039665066861646F6F700A737570657267726F757001??
{code}
followed by a rename operation

{code:Title=rename}
0100000003003F2F68626173652F64656D6F5F5F75736572732F636F6D70616374696F6E2E6469722F3336343035313634362F3833323831343837313930373033313732373900352F68626173652F64656D6F5F5F75736572732F3336343035313634362F746573742F36393137333831323838333034343734333836000D31323631303832363331383639
{code}

The first byte of the rename was instead read as part of the completeFile() operation. This resulted in reading the next operation as 0x00 (OP_ADD) followed by an int (length) which would have been 0x0000030 which is 768 that was read and failed in the following code

{code:Title=FSEditLog.java}
 case OP_ADD:
        case OP_CLOSE: {
          // versions > 0 support per file replication
          // get name and replication
          int length = in.readInt();
          if (-7 == logVersion && length != 3||
              -17 < logVersion && logVersion < -7 && length != 4 ||
              logVersion <= -17 && length != 5) {
              throw new IOException("Incorrect data format."  +
                                    " logVersion is " + logVersion +
                                    " but writables.length is " +
                                    length + ". ");
{code}

Filling the missing byte with a value resulted in correct interpretation of the 0x01 (OP_RENAME) and correct parsing for the rest of the edits file (>1MB)

This theory is also supported by the NameNode log file from the date the corruption took place:

{code}

The last 3 entries show a completeFile operation followed by a rollFSIMage operation followed by a rename operation. This is where most probably the race condition took place.
Synchronizing access to EditLogOutputStream could fix the problem, however other race or deadlocks may still occur.
