KAFKA-15046: Get rid of unnecessary fsyncs inside UnifiedLog.lock to stabilize performance (#14242)
While any blocking operation under holding the UnifiedLog.lock could lead to serious performance (even availability) issues, currently there are several paths that calls fsync(2) inside the lock
In the meantime the lock is held, all subsequent produces against the partition may block
This easily causes all request-handlers to be busy on bad disk performance
Even worse, when a disk experiences tens of seconds of glitch (it's not rare in spinning drives), it makes the broker to unable to process any requests with unfenced from the cluster (i.e. "zombie" like status)
This PR gets rid of 4 cases of essentially-unnecessary fsync(2) calls performed under the lock:
(1) ProducerStateManager.takeSnapshot at UnifiedLog.roll
I moved fsync(2) call to the scheduler thread as part of existing "flush-log" job (before incrementing recovery point)
Since it's still ensured that the snapshot is flushed before incrementing recovery point, this change shouldn't cause any problem
(2) ProducerStateManager.removeAndMarkSnapshotForDeletion as part of log segment deletion
This method calls Utils.atomicMoveWithFallback with needFlushParentDir = true internally, which calls fsync.
I changed it to call Utils.atomicMoveWithFallback with needFlushParentDir = false (which is consistent behavior with index files deletion. index files deletion also doesn't flush parent dir)
This change shouldn't cause problems neither.
(3) LeaderEpochFileCache.truncateFromStart when incrementing log-start-offset
This path is called from deleteRecords on request-handler threads.
Here, we don't need fsync(2) either actually.
On unclean shutdown, few leader epochs might be remained in the file but it will be handled by LogLoader on start-up so not a problem
(4) LeaderEpochFileCache.truncateFromEnd as part of log truncation
Likewise, we don't need fsync(2) here, since any epochs which are untruncated on unclean shutdown will be handled on log loading procedure
