[HBASE-26075] Replication is stuck due to zero length wal file in oldWALs directory. - ASF JIRA

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 1.7.0, 2.3.5, 2.4.4

Release Note:
Handles 0 length WAL files moved to oldWALs directory so that they do not block the replication queue.

Description

Recently we encountered a case where size of log queue was increasing to around 300 in few region servers in our production environment.

There were 295 wals in the oldWALs directory for that region server and the first file was a 0 length file.

Replication was throwing the following error.

We fixed similar error via ~~HBASE-25536~~ but the zero length file was in recovered sources.

There were more logs after the above stack trace.

2021-07-05 03:06:32,757 WARN  [20%2C1625185107182,1] regionserver.ReplicationSourceWALReaderThread - Couldn't get file length information about log

There is a special logic in ReplicationSourceWALReader thread to handle 0 length files but we only look in WALs directory and not in oldWALs directory.

  private boolean handleEofException(Exception e, WALEntryBatch batch) {
    PriorityBlockingQueue<Path> queue = logQueue.getQueue(walGroupId);
    // Dump the log even if logQueue size is 1 if the source is from recovered Source
    // since we don't add current log to recovered source queue so it is safe to remove.
    if ((e instanceof EOFException || e.getCause() instanceof EOFException) &&
      (source.isRecovered() || queue.size() > 1) && this.eofAutoRecovery) {
      Path head = queue.peek();
      try {
        if (fs.getFileStatus(head).getLen() == 0) {
          // head of the queue is an empty log file
          LOG.warn("Forcing removal of 0 length log in queue: {}", head);
          logQueue.remove(walGroupId);
          currentPosition = 0;
          if (batch != null) {
            // After we removed the WAL from the queue, we should try shipping the existing batch of
            // entries
            addBatchToShippingQueue(batch);
          }
          return true;
        }
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
        LOG.warn("Couldn't get file length information about log " + queue.peek(), ioe);
      } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
        LOG.trace("Interrupted while adding WAL batch to ship queue");
        Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
      }
    }
    return false;
  }

We need to add logic to look for such 0 length file in oldWALs directory also.

How this 0 length files are created ?
When the 0 length wal was created, I see the following log messages.
There were some datanode problems while creating the wal but assuming optimization, we just chugged along and again rolled the wal once FSHLog#append call failed.
