Izaak Rubin updated HBASE-703:
------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Reopened)
I've attached a patch (HBASE-703.patch) that fixes the problem.
The problem originated in the HRegion splitting code. Each HRegionServer
maintains a collection of its daughter HRegions that are currently online. When
an HRegion was split, the parent HRegion would be correctly closed and taken
offline; however, the responsible HRegionServer was never informed of the
change. regionserver.jsp would display the HRegionServer's improperly updated
collection of online HRegions. The result was that all regions, even those that
were split and offline, were displayed in the UI.
The patch makes changes to HRegionServer.java and CompactSplitThread.java.
There is a new method in HRegionServer, removeFromOnlineRegions(region), which
removes the HRegion from the collection of online regions. This method is
called in CompactSplitThread.split().
What changed that created this bug? In branch/0.1, there was a notion of both
online regions and retiring regions, and there were separate collections for
each. There was also a listener structure (RegionUnavailableListener) built
into the splitting process that correctly handled the region transitions from
online to retiring to their removal. However, since this branch, the splitting
code has been simplified such that the listener and "retiring" regions no
longer exist. Since the listener was responsible for updating the
HRegionServer, its removal created the bug.
**A note on the patch: all HBase tests passed. However, in running all tests
together, a few tests (including TestMetaUtils) timed out. I re-ran these
tests individually and they passed.
