Description Aravinda VK 2015-12-02 14:25:52 UTC

Description of problem:
When Changelogs processed in Batch, Geo-rep logs all the GFIDs from that batch as SKIPPED even when a few GFIDs from the batch failed to sync.


Steps to Reproduce: (Reproduced by introducing GFID conflict)
1. Create a file in Slave mount(say f1)
2. Create files in Master mount and add data to it
   echo "Hello" > f1; echo "Hello" > f2; echo "Hello" > f3;
3. All the files Create and Data will be recorded in single changelog. Rsync/Tar skips f1 but syncs f2 and f3. But it logs GFIDs of f1, f2 and f3 as SKIPPED.

Actual results:
Logs all the GFIDs as failure.

Expected results:
Only failures should be reported in log.

    geo-rep: Handling Rsync/Tar errors efficiently
    
    Geo-rep processes Changelogs in Batch, if one file in batch
    fails with rsync error that Changelog file is reprocessed multiple times.
    After MAX_RETRY, it logs all the GFIDs from that batch as Skipped.
    
    This patch addresses following issues,
    1. When Rsync/Tar fails do not parse Changelog again for retry
    2. When Rsync/Tar fails do not replay Entry operations, only retry
       rsync/tar for those GFIDs
    3. Log Error in Rsync/Tar only in the last Retry
    4. Do not log Skipped GFIDs since Rsync/Tar errors are logged for
       only failed files.
    5. Changed Entry failures as Error instead of Warning
