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.
