> Key: HBASE-23601
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23601
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: read replicas
> Affects Versions: 2.2.2
> Reporter: Szabolcs Bukros
> Assignee: Szabolcs Bukros
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0-beta-2, 2.3.0
>
>
> When a WriterThread runs into an exception (ie: NotServingRegionException),
> the exception is stored in the controller. It is never removed and can not be
> overwritten either.
>
> {code:java}
> public void run() {
> try {
> doRun();
> } catch (Throwable t) {
> LOG.error("Exiting thread", t);
> controller.writerThreadError(t);
> }
> }{code}
> Thanks to this every time PipelineController.checkForErrors() is called the
> same old exception is rethrown.
>
> For example in RegionReplicaReplicationEndpoint.replicate there is a while
> loop that does the actual replicating. Every time it loops, it calls
> checkForErrors(), catches the rethrown exception, logs it but does nothing
> about it. This results in ~2GB log files in ~5min in my experience.
>
> My proposal would be to clean up the stored exception when it reaches
> RegionReplicaReplicationEndpoint.replicate and make sure we restart the
> WriterThread that died throwing it.
