James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-3072:
---------------------------------------
There's one more case where we don't need this PRIORITY flag and that's for
immutable tables. These indexes don't use the IndexedWALEditCodec so they won't
have this issue. Let me figure out how you can determine that at that point in
the code.
> Deadlock on region opening with secondary index recovery
> --------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PHOENIX-3072
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3072
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
> Assignee: Enis Soztutar
> Fix For: 4.9.0, 4.8.1
>
> Attachments: phoenix-3072_v1.patch, phoenix-3072_v2.patch

>
> There is a distributed deadlock happening in clusters with some moderate
> number of regions for the data tables and secondary index tables and cluster
> and it is cluster restart or some large failure. We have seen this in a
> couple of production cases already.
> Opening of regions in hbase is performed by a thread pool with 3 threads by
> default. Every regionserver can open 3 regions at a time. However, opening
> data table regions has to write to multiple index regions during WAL
> recovery. All other region open requests are queued up in a single queue.
> This causes a deadlock, since the secondary index regions are also opened by
> the same thread pools that we do the work. So if there is greater number of
> data table regions then available number of region opening threads from
> regionservers, the secondary index region open requests just wait to be
> processed in the queue. Since these index regions are not open, the region
> opening of data table regions just block the region opening threads for a
> long time.
> One proposed fix is to use a different thread pool for opening regions of the
> secondary index tables so that we will not deadlock. See HBASE-16095 for the
> HBase-level fix. In Phoenix, we just have to set the priority for secondary
> index tables.
