James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-4242: --------------------------------------- bq. I think the reason might be because we're creating HBase non-Phoenix tables, which for some reason have the Indexer coprocessor loaded? Any idea how that might happen? That's what the FIXME in the code is about. The HBase table that stores the index on view data does not have an entry in the SYSTEM.CATALOG, so you'd get a TableNotFoundException. Same with a local index. You can identify the physical table of a view index based on the name - it'll be prefixed with MetaDataUtil.VIEW_INDEX_TABLE_PREFIX. In this case, we'd want to check all index tables with this table name as their physical table name. Another approach would be to create an entry in SYSTEM.CATALOG for this table and maintain the child linking rows to be able to quickly look them up. I think the latter is probably a better long term solution as it makes things more consistent. [~tdsilva] can help you with this. Some related work is PHOENIX-4263, but this could be a separate JIRA. > Fix Indexer post-compact hook logging of NPE and TableNotFound > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-4242 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4242 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 4.12.0 > Reporter: Vincent Poon > Assignee: Vincent Poon > Attachments: PHOENIX-4747.v1.master.patch > > > The post-compact hook in the Indexer seems to log extraneous log messages > indicating NPE or TableNotFound.
