[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-11322) SnapshotHFileCleaner makes the wrong check for lastModified time thus causing too many cache refreshes

["Ted Yu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11322?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14027168#comment-14027168 ] 

Ted Yu commented on HBASE-11322:
--------------------------------

Can you provide patch for trunk ?

refreshCache() in trunk is a bit different from that of 0.94

> The SnapshotHFileCleaner calls the SnapshotFileCache if a particular HFile in question is part of a snapshot.
> If the HFile is not in the cache, we then refresh the cache and check again.
> But the cache refresh checks to see if anything has been modified since the last cache refresh but this logic is incorrect in certain scenarios.
> The last modified time is done via this operation:
> {code}
> this.lastModifiedTime = Math.min(dirStatus.getModificationTime(),
>                                      tempStatus.getModificationTime());
> {code}
> and the check to see if the snapshot directories have been modified:
> {code}
> // if the snapshot directory wasn't modified since we last check, we are done
>     if (dirStatus.getModificationTime() <= lastModifiedTime &&
>         tempStatus.getModificationTime() <= lastModifiedTime) {
>       return;
>     }
> {code}
> Suppose the following happens:
> dirStatus modified 6-1-2014
> tempStatus modified 6-2-2014
> lastModifiedTime = 6-1-2014
> provided these two directories don't get modified again all subsequent checks wont exit early, like they should.
> In our cluster, this was a huge performance hit.  The cleaner chain fell behind, thus almost filling up dfs and our namenode heap.
> Its a simple fix, instead of Math.min we use Math.max for the lastModified, I believe that will be correct.
> I'll apply a patch for you guys.
