David Manning created HBASE-28257: ------------------------------------- Summary: Memstore flushRequest can be blocked by a delayed flush scheduled by PeriodicMemstoreFlusher, RegionTooBusyExceptions for up to 5 minutes Key: HBASE-28257 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28257 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: regionserver Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 3.0.0 Reporter: David Manning Assignee: David Manning
*Steps to reproduce:* # Make an edit to a region. # Wait 1 hour (default value of hbase.regionserver.optionalcacheflushinterval.) # Make a very large number of edits to the region (i.e. >= 1GB, pressure the memstore.) *Expected:* Memstore pressure leads to flushes. *Result:* The PeriodicMemstoreFlusher has scheduled a refresh with a random delay of 0-5 minutes (default for hbase.regionserver.periodicmemstoreflusher.rangeofdelayseconds.) Memstore pressure flushes are blocked by the scheduled delayed flush. Client receives 0-5 minutes of RegionTooBusyExceptions until the delayed flush executes. *Logs:* 2023-12-13 06:00:13,573 INFO regionserver.HRegionServer - MemstoreFlusherChore requesting flush of <REGION> because <CF> has an old edit so flush to free WALs after random delay 166761 ms 2023-12-13 06:00:53,219 DEBUG regionserver.HRegion - Flush requested on <REGION> 2023-12-13 06:01:47,694 WARN regionserver.HRegion - Region is too busy due to exceeding memstore size limit. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.RegionTooBusyException: Over memstore limit=1.0 G, regionName=<REGION>, server=<SERVER> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.checkResources ... repeats ... 2023-12-13 06:01:52,223 WARN regionserver.HRegion - Region is too busy due to exceeding memstore size limit. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.RegionTooBusyException: Over memstore limit=1.0 G, regionName=<REGION>, server=<SERVER> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.checkResources ... 2023-12-13 06:03:00,340 INFO regionserver.HRegion - Flushing <REGION> 1/1 column families, dataSize=534.77 MB heapSize=1.00 GB 2023-12-13 06:03:09,634 INFO regionserver.HRegion - Finished flush of dataSize ~534.77 MB/560744948, heapSize ~1.00 GB/1073816296, currentSize=0 B/0 for <REGION> in 9294ms, sequenceid=21310753, compaction requested=false Note also this is the same cause as discussed in HBASE-16030 conversation https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16030?focusedCommentId=15340153&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-15340153 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
