             Summary: RBF: Add supports for observer.auto-msync-period when 
using routers
                 Key: HDFS-17027
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17027
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Simbarashe Dzinamarira


None-RBF clients that use observer reads have the option to set 
*dfs.client.failover.observer.auto-msync-period.<nameservice>* . This config 
makes the client automatically do an msync, allowing clients to use the 
observer reads feature without any code change.

To use observer reads with RBF, clients set 
*dfs.client.rbf.observer.read.enable*. The way this flag is implemented does 
not allow clients to use the *auto-msync-period* config. So with RBF, clients 
either have to 
# Not use observer reads
# Use observer reads with the risk of stale reads
# Make code changes to explicitly call msync.

We should add support for 
*dfs.client.failover.observer.auto-msync-period.<nameservice>*. This can be 
done by adding a ProxyProvider, in a similar manner to the 
ObserverReadProxyProvider.
