[jira] [Created] (HDFS-4936) Handle overflow condition for txid going over Long.MAX_VALUE

Harsh J created HDFS-4936:
-----------------------------

             Summary: Handle overflow condition for txid going over Long.MAX_VALUE
                 Key: HDFS-4936
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4936
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
            Reporter: Harsh J
            Priority: Minor


Hat tip to [~fengdongyu@gmail.com] for the question that lead to this (on mailing lists).

I hacked up my local NN's txids manually to go very large (close to max) and decided to try out if this causes any harm. I basically bumped up the freshly formatted files' starting txid to 9223372036854775805 (and ensured image references the same by hex-editing it):

{code}
➜  current  ls
VERSION
fsimage_9223372036854775805.md5
fsimage_9223372036854775805
seen_txid
➜  current  cat seen_txid
9223372036854775805
{code}

NameNode started up as expected.

{code}
13/06/25 18:30:08 INFO namenode.FSImage: Image file of size 129 loaded in 0 seconds.
13/06/25 18:30:08 INFO namenode.FSImage: Loaded image for txid 9223372036854775805 from /temp-space/tmp-default/dfs-cdh4/name/current/fsimage_9223372036854775805
13/06/25 18:30:08 INFO namenode.FSEditLog: Starting log segment at 9223372036854775806
{code}

I could create a bunch of files and do regular ops (counting to much after the long max increments). I created over 10 files, just to make it go well over the Long.MAX_VALUE.

Quitting NameNode and restarting fails though, with the following error:

{code}

{code}

Looks like we also lose some edits when we restart, as noted by the finalized edits filename:

{code}
VERSION
edits_9223372036854775806-9223372036854775807
fsimage_9223372036854775805
fsimage_9223372036854775805.md5
seen_txid
{code}

It seems like we won't be able to handle the case where txid overflows. Its a very very large number so that's not an immediate concern but seemed worthy of a report.
