Splits getting blocked by compactions causeing region to be offline for the length of the compaction 10-15 mins ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2587 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2587 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: contrib/hbase Environment: hadoop subversion 611087 Reporter: Billy Pearson Fix For: 0.16.0 The below is cut out of one of my region servers logs full log attached What is happening is there is one region on a this region server and its is under heave insert load so compaction are back to back one one finishes a new one starts the problem starts when its time to split the region. A compaction starts just millsecs before the split starts blocking the split but the split closes the region before the compaction is finished. Causing the region to be offline until the compaction is done. Once the compaction is done the split finishes and all is returned to normal but this is a big problem for production if the region is offline for 10-15 mins. The solution would be not to let the split thread to issue the below line while a compaction on that region is happening. 2008-01-11 16:22:01,247 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionServer: webdata,,1200085987488 closing (Adding to retiringRegions) The only time I have seen this bug is when there is only one region on a region server because if more then one then the compaction happens to the other region(s) after the first one is done compaction and the split can do what it needs on the first region with out getting blocked. {code} 2008-01-11 16:22:01,020 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegion: compaction completed on region webdata,,1200085987488.
