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

             Summary: Both read/write access to Log.segments should be 
protected by lock
                 Key: KAFKA-7297
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7297
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dong Lin
            Assignee: Dong Lin


Log.replaceSegments() updates segments in two steps. It first adds new segments 
and then remove old segments. Though this operation is protected by a lock, 
other read access such as Log.logSegments does not grab lock and thus these 
methods may return an inconsistent view of the segments.

As an example, say Log.replaceSegments() intends to replace segments [0, 100), 
[100, 200) with a new segment [0, 200). In this case if Log.logSegments is 
called right after the new segments are added, the method may return segments 
[0, 200), [100, 200) and messages in the range [100, 200) may be duplicated if 
caller choose to enumerate all messages in all segments returned by the method.

The solution is probably to protect read/write access to Log.segments with 
read/write lock.
