             Summary: HDFS copy thread in OutputHDFSFile is not removing files that are processed 
                 Key: AMBARI-17834
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17834
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-logsearch
            Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala


Consider the HDFS copy thread here: https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-logsearch/ambari-logsearch-logfeeder/src/main/java/org/apache/ambari/logfeeder/output/OutputHDFSFile.java#L177

It uses a data structure localReadyFiles that has the list of files to copy to HDFS. But AFAICS, nowhere are processed files removed from this data structure. This could result in multiple incorrect behaviours:

* Over a period of time, this structure could keep growing indefinitely. While the check for existence of files will allow progress, it will take longer and longer to run.
*  The check to wait when there are no files to process will never pass because the size of the data structure will never be 0. This could lead to tight looped checks and some utilization issues.
