--------------------------------

             Summary: Can't cache All region locations of the specify table by 
calling table.getRegionLocator().getAllRegionLocations()
                 Key: HBASE-20697
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20697
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.6, 1.3.1
            Reporter: zhaoyuan
            Assignee: zhaoyuan


When we upgrade and restart  a new version application which will read and 
write to HBase, we will get some operation timeout. The time out is expected 
because when the application restarts,It will not hold any region locations 
cache and do communication with zk and meta regionserver to get region 
locations.

We want to avoid these timeouts so we do warmup work and as far as I am 
concerned,the method table.getRegionLocator().getAllRegionLocations() will 
fetch all region locations and cache them. However, it didn't work good. There 
are still a lot of time outs,so it confused me.
{code:java}
// code placeholder
public List<HRegionLocation> getAllRegionLocations() throws IOException {
  TableName tableName = getName();
  NavigableMap<HRegionInfo, ServerName> locations =
      MetaScanner.allTableRegions(this.connection, tableName);
  ArrayList<HRegionLocation> regions = new ArrayList<>(locations.size());
  for (Entry<HRegionInfo, ServerName> entry : locations.entrySet()) {
    regions.add(new HRegionLocation(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()));
  }
  if (regions.size() > 0) {
    connection.cacheLocation(tableName, new RegionLocations(regions));
  }
  return regions;
}

In MetaCache

public void cacheLocation(final TableName tableName, final RegionLocations 
locations) {
  byte [] startKey = 
locations.getRegionLocation().getRegionInfo().getStartKey();
  ConcurrentMap<byte[], RegionLocations> tableLocations = 
getTableLocations(tableName);
  RegionLocations oldLocation = tableLocations.putIfAbsent(startKey, locations);
  boolean isNewCacheEntry = (oldLocation == null);
  if (isNewCacheEntry) {
    if (LOG.isTraceEnabled()) {
      LOG.trace("Cached location: " + locations);
    }
    addToCachedServers(locations);
    return;
  }
{code}
It will collect all regions into one RegionLocations object and only cache the 
first not null region location. When we do getCacheLocation() 
{code:java}
// code placeholder
public RegionLocations getCachedLocation(final TableName tableName, final byte 
[] row) {
  ConcurrentNavigableMap<byte[], RegionLocations> tableLocations =
    getTableLocations(tableName);

  Entry<byte[], RegionLocations> e = tableLocations.floorEntry(row);
  if (e == null) {
    if (metrics!= null) metrics.incrMetaCacheMiss();
    return null;
  }
  RegionLocations possibleRegion = e.getValue();

  // make sure that the end key is greater than the row we're looking
  // for, otherwise the row actually belongs in the next region, not
  // this one. the exception case is when the endkey is
  // HConstants.EMPTY_END_ROW, signifying that the region we're
  // checking is actually the last region in the table.
  byte[] endKey = 
possibleRegion.getRegionLocation().getRegionInfo().getEndKey();
  if (Bytes.equals(endKey, HConstants.EMPTY_END_ROW) ||
      getRowComparator(tableName).compareRows(
          endKey, 0, endKey.length, row, 0, row.length) > 0) {
    if (metrics != null) metrics.incrMetaCacheHit();
    return possibleRegion;
  }

  // Passed all the way through, so we got nothing - complete cache miss
  if (metrics != null) metrics.incrMetaCacheMiss();
  return null;
}
{code}
It will choose the first location to be possibleRegion and possibly it will 
miss match.

So did I forget something or may be wrong somewhere? If this is indeed a bug I 
think it can be fixed not very hard.

Hope commiters and PMC review this !
