In our HDFS cluster that holds hundreds of millions of metadata, all of which is EC data. When Observer NN replays the OP_DELETE operation which deletes a large directory, involving tens of millions of metadata. Because the operation is synchronous, the Observer NN is stuck for nearly 50 minutes.
HDFS-16043 has solved the asynchronous deletion on the active NN. This is to solve the asynchronous deletion on the Observer NN.
