--------------------------------
Summary: Expire of one region server carrying meta can bring down
the master
Key: HBASE-13845
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13845
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Jerry He
There seems to be a code bug that can cause expiration of one region server
carrying meta to bring down the master under certain case.
Here is the sequence of event.
a) The master detects the expiration of a region server on ZK, and starts to
expire the region server.
b) Since the failed region server carries meta, the shutdown handler will call
verifyAndAssignMetaWithRetries() during processing the expired rs.
c) In verifyAndAssignMeta(), there is a logic to verifyMetaRegionLocation
{code}
(!server.getMetaTableLocator().verifyMetaRegionLocation(server.getConnection(),
this.server.getZooKeeper(), timeout)) {
this.services.getAssignmentManager().assignMeta
(HRegionInfo.FIRST_META_REGIONINFO);
} else if
(serverName.equals(server.getMetaTableLocator().getMetaRegionLocation(
this.server.getZooKeeper()))) {
throw new IOException("hbase:meta is onlined on the dead server "
+ serverName);
{code}
If we see the meta region is still alive on the expired rs, we throw an
exception.
We do some retries (default 10x1000ms) for verifyAndAssignMeta.
If we still get the exception after retries, we abort the master.
{code}

{code}
The problem happens when the expired is slow processing its own expiration or
has a slow death, and is still able to respond to master's meta verification in
the meantime
