James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-4537:
---------------------------------------
Are we saying that migration would happen before the first client connection?
That's bad. Can we change that? We send the client version along in
MetaDataEndpointImpl calls. Perhaps we could send it through our region
observers if need be.
My preference would be to implement PHOENIX-4530 and get rid of
clearTsOnDisabledIndexes as it wouldn't be necessary ([~an...@apache.org]
excellent idea). We might need to start adding secondary indexes to system
tables, so I'd hate to have too many assumptions here.

> [~sergey.soldatov] has been doing some great digging around a test failure
> we've been seeing at $dayjob. The situation goes like this.
> 0. Run some arbitrary load
> 1. Stop HBase
> 2. Enable schema mapping ({{phoenix.schema.isNamespaceMappingEnabled=true}}
> and {{phoenix.schema.mapSystemTablesToNamespace=true}} in hbase-site.xml)
> 3. Start HBase
> 4. Circumstantially, have the SYSTEM.CATALOG table need a compaction to run
> before a client first connects
> When the RegionServer initiates the compaction, it will end up running
> {{UngroupedAggregateRegionObserver.clearTsOnDisabledIndexes}} which opens a
> Phoenix connection. While the RegionServer won't upgrade system tables, it
> *will* try to migrate them into the schema mapped variants (e.g.
> SYSTEM.CATALOG to SYSTEM:CATALOG).
> However, one of the first steps in the schema migration is to disable the
> SYSTEM.CATALOG table. However, the SYSTEM.CATALOG table can't be disabled
> until the region is CLOSED, and the region cannot be CLOSED until the
> compaction is finished. *deadlock*
> The "obvious" fix is to avoid RegionServers from triggering system table
> migrations, but Sergey and [~elserj] both think that this will end badly
> (RegionServers falling over because they expect the tables to be migrated and
> they aren't).
> Thoughts? [~ankit.singhal], [~jamestaylor], any others?
