HDDS-14379. Implement basic Hadoop OM client proxy provider to read from followers #9641

ivandika3 · 2026-01-17T05:32:11Z

What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This task is to come up with the basic implementation of follower read client proxy as a baseline before further performance improvements. The idea is to simply pick an OM node in random (which can be a leader or follower) and use it to submit read requests. The read requests need to keep sending to that OM node unless the OM is down which triggers failover. Write requests should be sent to the OM leader directly.

Further improvements such as followers affinity or picking OM based on latency, applied index, etc will be implemented in follow up tasks. The main focus of this patch is to ensure that long-lived client (e.g. S3G Ozone clients) will stick to the OM follower once it picks it as the current proxy. In the previous leader proxy provider implementation, the client only read from followers until a new write request triggers OMNotLeaderException and the failover causes proxy to always be pointing to the leader.

The implementation is to introduce HadoopRpcOMFollowerReadProxyProvider which wraps
HadoopRpcOMFailoverProxyProvider. FollowerReadProxyProvider tracks a different currentOmNodeId from HadoopRpcOMFailoverProxyProvider. FollowerReadInvocationHandler will check whether the request is a read request (using OmUtils#isReadOnly) and if so forwards it to its current proxy. If it's a write request, the request if forwarded to HadoopRpcOMFailoverProxyProvider to be sent to the leader.

So the proxy hierarchy (each with its own InvocationHandler) is

TracingUtil's proxy (InvocationHandler: TraceAllMethod)
- RetryProxy (InvocationHandler: RetryInvocationHandler)
  - HadoopRpcOMFollowerReadProxyProvider (InvocationHandler: FollowerReadInvocationHandler)
    - ProtocolProxy (which is created in OMFailoverProxyProviderBase#createOMProxy): ProtobufRpcEngine.Invoker

@ivandika3 , thanks for working on this! I am reviewing this. The change is quite big. Need some time.

szetszwo

@ivandika3 , thanks a lot for working on this and adding a lot of tests! Please see the comments inlined.

BTW, filed HDDS-14455 and HDDS-14470 for improving the current code.

The synchronized is for omProxyInfo.proxy. We probably should do it in OMProxyInfo. Let me fix it in HDDS-14470.

Ok will wait until HDDS-14470 is merged.

Move it to wrappedProxy. Then it would only suppress the warning there but not the entire method.

We may use "map/reduce".

Thanks, updated.

For simplicity, let support only OzoneManagerProtocolPB for now? Then, we can remove the followerReadEnabled and simplify the code.

Thanks for the review. Could you clarify on this?

Currently there are guards to ensure that follower read only supports OzoneManagerProtocolPB. One is during construction by disabling useFollowerRead if it's not OzoneManagerProtocolPB. Second is during FollowerReadInvocationHandler.

Do you mean to make HadoopRpcOMFollowerReadFailoverProxyProvider to be HadoopRpcOMFollowerReadFailoverProxyProvider<OzoneManagerProtocolPB> implements FailoverProxy<OzoneManagerProtocolPB>? I believe this might mean that we need to replace T generic type parameter with OzoneManagerProtocolPB. This adds verbosity and reduces the generic benefit, not sure if this is a good tradeoff for removing userFollowerRead.

Please let me know what you think.

Let's provide a more specific error message:

private static OMRequest parseOMRequest(Object[] args) throws ServiceException { final String error = args == null ? "args == null" : args.length < 2 ? "args.length == " + args.length + " < 2" : !(args[1] instanceof OMRequest) ? "Non-OMRequest: " + args[1].getClass() : null; if (error != null) { // Throws a non-retriable exception to prevent retry and failover // See the HddsUtils#shouldNotFailoverOnRpcException used in // OMFailoverProxyProviderBase#shouldFailover throw wrapInServiceException(new RpcNoSuchProtocolException("Failed to parseOMRequest: " + error)); } return (OMRequest) args[1]; }

Thanks, updated.

I updated this to handle null args[1]. I also changed this to use normal if else blocks since I personally find chained ternary operators hard to read.

Check (method.getDeclaringClass() != OzoneManagerProtocolPB.class) instead?

Yes, better. Updated, thanks.

I reverted this due to failing test.

The actual Method#getDeclaringClass is org.apache.hadoop.ozone.protocol.proto.OzoneManagerProtocolProtos$OzoneManagerService$BlockingInterface so all submitRequest will go to this block.

Additionally, I tried to change the proxy to be pass through if it's not OzoneManagerProtocolPB.class

From

return method.invoke(this, args);

to

return method.invoke(proxy, args);

However, it seems because org.apache.hadoop.ozone.protocol.proto.OzoneManagerProtocolProtos$OzoneManagerService$BlockingInterface is not concrete class, it throws exception when usineg Object#toString.

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.apache.hadoop.ozone.om.protocolPB.OzoneManagerProtocolPB.toString()

Not sure if there is a way to handle all cases.

throws ServiceException.

private static void throwServiceException(Throwable e) throws ServiceException { throw e instanceof ServiceException ? (ServiceException) e : new ServiceException(e); }

Thanks, updated. However, retVal needs to be initialized to null since the compiler cannot detect that throwServiceException always throws exception (since it might think that it simply returns). So I have initialized retVal to null.
