[kudu-CR] [fs manager] Disallow write operations on read only fs handles

Hello David Ribeiro Alves, Adar Dembo,

I'd like you to do a code review.  Please visit

    http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/4891

to review the following change.

Change subject: [fs_manager] Disallow write operations on read_only fs handles
......................................................................

[fs_manager] Disallow write operations on read_only fs handles

This patch adds checks at various entry points where it is expected
to have a RW handle on a block_manager or fs_manager instance.
This prevents data/metadata files being modified or deleted
from read_only handles opened on fs_manager.

Thanks for reviews Adar, yeah I agree with what you said above.  I will make the changes along the lines suggested above. One follow-up question though:  Even if we provide fs_manager_.DeleteXYZ() routines, how can we prevent the caller from directly doing fs_manager->env()->deleteFile() ? perhaps we could keep the Env as private inside FsManager and provide public access to env() routines from FsManager ? Like FsManager::DeleteFile, FsManager::CreateDir() etc.

PS: Above follow-up question is somewhat along the lines I was discussing with you on slack about enforcing these restrictions at Env/PosixEnv assuming we have enough context about files opened etc.  There we had converged that we wanted to keep those classes as stateless and as close to system-calls as possible and I concur with that.

Patch Set 1: Code-Review-1

I remember our discussion that led to this patch, but in retrospect it looks like I misunderstood the conversation. I thought you had found some FsManager functions that 1) make destructive changes, and 2) weren't enforcing that read_only_ was set prior to making those changes. It made sense to me that such functions should enforce it, and I thought that's what you were working on.

I'm not a fan of the changes in this patch though. The intent is good; it makes sense to avoid making changes if we're in read-only mode. However, to accomplish that, we're consulting FsManager state, which is a bit of an encapsulation leak. There's also no guarantee that future functions that make changes will consult FsManager state.

If you want to push forward with this, here's a cleaner alternative: encapsulate that actual destructive operations within the FsManager. For example, convert this:

  CHECK(fs_manager_.read_only());
  env_->DeleteFromDisk(...);

Into this:

  fs_manager_.DeleteFromDisk(...);

And then check read_only inside FsManager::DeleteFromDisk() (a new function). That way, read_only() isn't leaked outside of FsManager, and any new code that wants to do the same thing can make a single call and get enforcement for free.

Relatedly, I think FsManager::read_only() shouldn't exist (or should be private), but it looks like there's a legitimate use case inside TabletMetadata::LoadFromSuperBlock() right now. IMHO TabletMetadata should maintain its own read-only state (just like the block managers do) and consult that to decide whether to delete orphaned blocks.

We can't. It's too easy to obtain an Env from anywhere (see Env::Default()), so this is probably the best we can do. But, it's still better than what we've got today.
