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

             Summary: BP service actor LastHeartbeat is not sufficient to track 
realtime connection breaks
                 Key: HDFS-16907
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-16907
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Viraj Jasani
            Assignee: Viraj Jasani
         Attachments: Screenshot 2023-02-03 at 6.12.24 PM.png

Each BP service actor thread maintains _lastHeartbeatTime_ with the namenode 
that it is connected to. However, this is updated even if the connection to the 
namenode is broken.

Suppose, the actor thread keeps heartbeating to namenode and suddenly the 
socket connection is broken. When this happens, until specific time duration, 
the actor thread consistently keeps updating _lastHeartbeatTime_ before even 
initiating heartbeat connection with namenode. If connection cannot be 
established even after RPC retries are exhausted, then IOException is thrown. 
This means that heartbeat response has not been received from the namenode. In 
the loop, the actor thread keeps trying connecting for heartbeat and the last 
heartbeat stays close to 1/2s even though in reality there is no response being 
received from namenode.

 

Sample Exception from the BP service actor thread, during which LastHeartbeat 
stays very low:

Attaching screenshots of how last heartbeat value looks when the above error is 
consistently getting logged.

 

Last heartbeat response time is important to initiate any auto-recovery from 
datanode. Hence, we should introduce LastHeartbeatResponseTime that only gets 
updated if the BP service actor thread was successfully able to retrieve 
response from namenode.
