[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-13761) S3Guard: implement retries

Aaron Fabbri created HADOOP-13761:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: S3Guard: implement retries 
                 Key: HADOOP-13761
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13761
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: fs/s3
            Reporter: Aaron Fabbri


Following the S3AFileSystem integration patch in HADOOP-13651, we need to add retry logic.

In HADOOP-13651, I added TODO comments in most of the places retry loops are needed, including:

- open(path).  If MetadataStore reflects recent create/move of file path, but we fail to read it from S3, retry.
- delete(path).  If deleteObject() on S3 fails, but MetadataStore shows the file exists, retry.
- rename(src,dest).  If source path is not visible in S3 yet, retry.
- listFiles(). Skip for now. Not currently implemented in S3Guard. I will create a separate JIRA for this as it will likely require interface changes (i.e. prefix or subtree scan).

We may miss some cases initially and we should do failure injection testing to make sure we're covered.  Failure injection tests can be a separate JIRA to make this easier to review.

We also need basic configuration parameters around retry policy.  There should be a way to specify maximum retry duration, as some applications would prefer to receive an error eventually, than waiting indefinitely.  We should also be keeping statistics when inconsistency is detected and we enter a retry loop.
