----------------------------

             Summary: Improve NameNode performance when creating file  
                 Key: HDFS-6871
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6871
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: namenode, performance
            Reporter: Yi Liu
            Assignee: Yi Liu
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.6.0


Creating file with overwrite flag will cause NN fall into flush edit logs and block other requests if the file exists.

When we create a file with overwrite flag (default is true) in HDFS, NN will remove original file if it exists. In FSNamesystem#startFileInternal, NN already holds the write lock, it calls {{deleteInt}} if the file exists, there is logSync in {{deleteInt}}. So in this case, logSync is under write lock, it will heavily affect the NN performance. 

We should ignore the force logSync in {{deleteInt}} in this case.
