[jira] [Updated] (HDFS-1994) Fix race conditions when running two rapidly checkpointing 2NNs

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1994?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-1994:
------------------------------

          Component/s: name-node
          Description: 
HDFS-1984 added the ability to run two secondary namenodes at the same time. However, there were two races I found when stress testing this (by running two NNs each checkpointing in a tight loop with no sleep):
1) the writing of the seen_txid file was not atomic, so it was at some points reading an empty file
2) it was possible for two checkpointers to try to take a checkpoint at the same transaction ID, which would cause the two image downloads to collide and fail
    Affects Version/s: Edit log branch (HDFS-1073)
        Fix Version/s: Edit log branch (HDFS-1073)
