Carrey Zhan created HDFS-7609:
---------------------------------

             Summary: startup used too much time to load edits
                 Key: HDFS-7609
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7609
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Carrey Zhan


One day my namenode crashed because of two journal node timed out at the same 
time under very high load, leaving behind about 100 million transactions in 
edits log.(I still have no idea why they were not rolled into fsimage.)
I tryed to restart namenode, but it showed that almost 20 hours would be needed 
before finish, and it was loading fsedits most of the time. I also tryed to 
restart namenode in recover mode, the loading speed had no different.
I looked into the stack trace, judged that it is caused by the retry cache. So 
I set dfs.namenode.enable.retrycache to false, the restart process finished in 
half an hour.

I think the retry cached is useless during startup, at least during recover 
process.
