---------------------------------
Summary: Major compaction can break the region/row level atomic
when scan even if we pass mvcc to client
Key: HBASE-17177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17177
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: scan
Reporter: Duo Zhang
We know that major compaction will actually delete the cells which are deleted
by a delete marker. In order to give a consistent view for a scan, we need to
use a map to track the read points for all scanners for a region, and the
smallest one will be used for a compaction. For all delete markers whose mvcc
is greater than this value, we will not use it to delete other cells.
And the problem for a scan restart after region move is that, the new RS does
not have the information of the scanners opened at the old RS before the client
sends scan requests to the new RS which means the read points map is incomplete
and the smallest read point maybe greater than the correct value. So if a major
compaction happens at that time, it may delete some cells which should be
keeped.
