Currently, we increase journal entry seq by 10 after recovery.
However, this is not sufficient in the following case.
After crash the journal looks like
| seq+0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | ... | +11 | +12 |
If +1 is not valid, we dropped all entries from +1 to +12; and
write seq+10:
| seq+0 | +10 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | ... | +11 | +12 |
However, if we write a big journal entry with seq+11, it will
connect with some stale journal entry:
| seq+0 | +10 | +11 | +12 |
To reduce the risk of this issue, we increase seq by 10000 instead.
Shaohua: use 10000 instead of 1000. The risk should be very unlikely. The total
stripe cache size is less than 2k typically, and several stripes can fit into
one meta data block. So the total inflight meta data blocks would be quite
small, which means the the total sequence number used should be quite small.
The 10000 sequence number increase should be far more than safe.
