Edit log buffer should not grow unboundedly -------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1112 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1112 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: name-node Affects Versions: 0.22.0 Reporter: Hairong Kuang Fix For: 0.22.0 Currently HDFS does not impose an upper limit on the edit log buffer. In case there are a large number of open operations coming in with access time update on, since open does not call sync automatically, there is a possibility that the buffer grow to a large size, therefore causes memory leak and full GC in extreme cases as described in HDFS-1104. The edit log buffer should be automatically flushed when the buffer becomes full. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
