Keith Turner resolved ACCUMULO-444.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Data loss possible when tablet killed immediately after recovery
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-444
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-444
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tserver
> Affects Versions: 1.3.5
> Environment: Running random walk, continuous ingest, and agitator on
> 10 node cluster.
> Reporter: Keith Turner
> Assignee: Keith Turner
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: 14_qa_bug
> Fix For: 1.4.0, 1.3.6
>
>
> Came in after a weekend of running test to find the Shard random walk test
> had lost data in its index table. After debugging I found the following
> sequence of events occurred.
> * Mutation X was written to shard index on Tablet T1
> * X was minor compacted to file F1
> * Tablet server serving T1 was killed
> * When T1 came up on another tablet server, it did not know about F1
> The above sequence of events indicate that the !METADATA table lost data. So
> I started looking into that, and found the following sequence of events.
> * Tablet server T1 serving METADATA tablet MT was killed
> * MT comes up on another tablet server T2
> * Mutation Y is written to MT about file F1 for tablet T1
> * Tablet server T2 is killed.
> * MT comes up in tablet server T3
> * The mutations for MT from T1 are recovered, but not from T2.. therefore Y
> is lost
> There is code that supposed to handle this situation, but its not working...
> I think this issue exist in 1.3
> Data loss is not certain in this situation. In the scenario above, when MT
> is loaded on T2 a minor compaction is started. If the server is killed
> before this minor compaction completes then data loss will likely occur.
