This commit introduces a background sync for retention leases. The idea here is that we do a heavyweight sync when adding a new retention lease, and then periodically we want to background sync any retention lease renewals to the replicas. As long as the background sync interval is significantly lower than the extended lifetime of a retention lease, it is okay if from time to time a replica misses a sync (it will still have an older version of the lease that is retaining more data as we assume that renewals do not decrease the retaining sequence number). There are two follow-ups that will come after this commit. The first is to address the fact that we have not adapted the should periodically flush logic to possibly flush the retention leases. We want to do something like flush if we have not flushed in the last five minutes and there are renewed retention leases since the last time that we flushed. An additional follow-up will remove the syncing of retention leases when a retention lease expires. Today this sync could be invoked in the background by a merge operation. Rather, we will move the syncing of retention lease expiration to be done under the background sync. The background sync will use the heavyweight sync (write action) if a lease has expired, and will use the lightweight background sync (replication action) otherwise. |
