Enis Soztutar commented on PHOENIX-2428: ---------------------------------------- If an RS fails in between, I don't think there is a reliable way to detect this and re-populate the index. The flush() will still succeed, but there is no guarantee that you did not lose any data even if flush succeeds. > Disable writing to WAL on initial index population > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-2428 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2428 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: James Taylor > Assignee: Ravi Kishore Valeti > > We should not be writing the WAL when we initially populate an index. Not > only is this obviously more efficient, but it also will prevent the writes > from being replicated both of which are good. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
