Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2737:
-----------------------------------

bq. My preference is to read the editlog in progress and leave the rolling of editlog as it is today, a local NN decision

That's not how it is today -- the SecondaryNameNode is the one that triggers it.

bq. For HA requiring an external trigger for editlog rolling is going back to previous inflexibility

It's not inflexible, since it's not tightly interlocked. The HA SBN may trigger a roll, but it's also fine if the NN rolls more often than this due to other triggers.

> Currently, the edit log tailing process can only read finalized log segments. So, if the active NN is not rolling its logs periodically, the SBN will lag a lot. This also causes many datanode messages to be queued up in the PendingDatanodeMessage structure.
> To combat this, the active NN needs to roll its logs periodically -- perhaps based on a time threshold, or perhaps based on a number of transactions. I'm not sure yet whether it's better to have the NN roll on its own or to have the SBN ask the active NN to roll its logs.
